How Do I Change My Cursor To A Hand Only When It Is Hovering Over A Label?

from tkinter import * root = Tk() def changeCursor(event, pointerName): root.cursor(pointerName) link = Label(root, text='Link') link.bind('', lambda event : chan

Solution 1:

If you want the cursor to always be the hand, just configure the label to have that cursor:

import tkinter as tkroot= tk.Tk()

label = tk.Label(root, text="Hello, world", background="bisque", cursor="hand1")
label.pack(side="top", fill="x", padx=10, pady=10)

root.mainloop()

Solution 2:

import tkinter as tkroot= tk.Tk()    
myLabel= tk.Label(root, text="Click Me", cursor="hand2")
myLabel.pack()    
root.mainloop()
