Is it possible to use the same TextInput to display multiple outputs on the label at once?

[Bri M]

Hello!

I am trying to make a program that would allow me to type some text into the input, save it to the label until I want to delete it later, and be able to display several more lines simultaneously using the same TextInput. Is this possible? The idea is to have the one input, and then the Label act as a "board" where the user can pin notes/ ideas.

So far I am able to display one line of text at a time. Any ideas? Thanks!

    def press(self):
        todo = self.txt_input.text

        # update label
        self.txt_output.text = todo

You need to add (append) to the existing string….

self.txt_output.text += todo

 

You may want to also append a new line character.
