How do I run a function once the form is loaded Kivy

Question

I have a kivy program in python which has a textbox and a few buttons. I have written the ui in kivy language and I need to run a function which updates the text box and waits for the user to press a button. Is there an on_load property I can use or some sort of thing to run this function when all the widgets have been loaded. The .kv file:

<MainGui>:
   id: layout1
   orientation: 'horizontal'
   #I would like for some sort of event like below to run my function:
   on_load: root.myfunction()

Answer 1

from kivy.app           import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.label     import Label

class DemoApp(App):

    def build(self):
        self.layout = layout = BoxLayout()
        layout.label = Label(text="INITIAL TEXT")
        layout.add_widget(layout.label)
        return(self.layout)

    def on_start(self, **kwargs):
        self.layout.label.text = "APP LOADED"

DemoApp().run()

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by 'loaded' (that is, what aspect of the widget creation is important to your function), but perhaps you could use on_parent which occurs when the widget is added to another widget.
