Is there a click event handler in tkinter?

Question

Guys I'm writing a GUI in tkinter. I wanted to handle click events like whenever a user use the 'left' mouse button on the GUI. This is for playing a sound when a user clicks. So is there any functions like:

onClick(lambda: play()) #call a function

Thanks in advance :)

You can add a click event to a canvas.

Something like this should work:

root = Tk()

def on_click(event):
    print("you clicked")

canvas = Canvas(root, width=800, height=600)
canvas.bind("<Button-1>", on_click)
canvas.pack()

# Canvas.focus_set is required if the window already contains a widget that has keyboard/input focus
canvas.focus_set()

root.mainloop()

Here are some examples of using this method: https://python-course.eu/tkinter/events-and-binds-in-tkinter.php
