[Tkinter] Tkinter delete combobox content and not the list

[LagratteCchouette]

Good morning all,

I want to delete to zero my "combobox" for a next entry. I have read is studied a lot of tutorials, but I found nothing to get to just delete the selected content in the field. I'm missing something, but I can't see it. Could you please help me. I am progressing slowly, but surely .

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1705, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)

    command=lambda : save_citation(combo_auteur.get(), combo_theme.get(), entry_citation.get('1.0', END), entry_ref.get('1.0', END)))

    combo_auteur.subwidget_list['cmb_nomsauteur'].delete(0, Tk.END)
AttributeError: 'Combobox' object has no attribute 'subwidget_list'

Here are my comboboxes:

def cmb_nomsauteur(event=None):
    connexion = sqlite3.connect('mnesis.db')
    cursor = connexion.cursor()
    cursor.execute('SELECT auteur_auteur FROM tb_auteur ORDER BY auteur_auteur')
    data = []
    for row in cursor.fetchall():
        data.append(row[0])

def cmb_theme(event=None):
    connexion = sqlite3.connect('mnesis.db')
    cursor = connexion.cursor()
    cursor.execute('SELECT theme_theme FROM tb_theme ORDER BY theme_theme')
    data = []
    for row in cursor.fetchall():
        data.append(row[0])
    return data

My function and lines 18 to 23 we find the subject of my request:

The document on ttk combobox docs
it inherits from entry, you wrote: combo_auteur.subwidget_list['cmb_nomsauteur'].delete(0, Tk.END)
to- combo_auteur.delete(0, Tk.END)
which will clear it.

Thank you so much,
And if I understood correctly...
but i still miss some notions

            # Delete textbox after records
            combo_auteur.delete(0, Tk.END)
            combo_theme.delete(0, Tk.END)
            entry_citation.delete('1.0', END)
            entry_verset.delete('1.0', END)
            entry_ref.delete('1.0', END)

I still have an error message

try 'end' as a string combo_auteur.delete('0','end')

Great, you're really cool. Wedge works very well, that's right

def clear():
    """ Delete textbox after records """
    
    combo_auteur.delete('0','end')
    combo_theme.delete('0','end')
    entry_citation.delete('1.0', END)
    entry_ref.delete('1.0', END)
