## Using tkinter
If you are an advanced user, you can still make use of tkinter when using guizero.
You can combine the use of `guizero` and `tkinter` seamlessly in a program, taking advantage of the simplified syntax of guizero whilst still being able to access the full range of functionality in tkinter if you need it.
### Using tkinter widgets in guizero
You can add tk widgets into your guizero app using the `add_tk_widget` method of `App`, `Window` and `Box`.
In this example, we are adding the tkinter widget `Spinbox` into a guizero `App`:
```python
from guizero import App, Text
from tkinter import Spinbox
app = App()
text = Text(app, text="A Spinbox widget")
spinbox = Spinbox(from_=0, to=10)
app.add_tk_widget(spinbox)
app.display()
```
When adding a tk widget to a `Box` or a `Window` you will have to specify its `tk` property when creating the tk widget.
```python
box = Box(app)
spinbox = Spinbox(box.tk, from_=0, to=10)
box.add_tk_widget(spinbox)
```
### Using a tkinter method on a guizero object
Each guizero widget itself contains a tk widget - you can find out which by looking on the guizero documentation page for the widget. For example, a guizero `TextBox` contains a tkinter `Entry` object. You can access the internal object using the syntax `<object_name>.tk`.
In this example, we have guizero `App` and `TextBox` widgets and are using the tk widgets `config` method to change the mouse cursor when it is over the `TextBox`.
```python
from guizero import App, TextBox
app = App()
name = TextBox(app, text="Laura")
name.tk.config(cursor="target")
app.display()
```
