List of all members.


Detailed Description

A single line text entry field.

The Gtk::Entry widget is a single line text entry widget. A fairly large set of key bindings are supported by default. If the entered text is longer than the allocation of the widget, the widget will scroll so that the cursor position is visible.

The Entry widget looks like this:

Returns:
The Pango::Layout for this entry.

Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Layout> Gtk::Entry::get_layout (  ) 

Gets the Pango::Layout used to display the entry.

The layout is useful to e.g. convert text positions to pixel positions, in combination with get_layout_offsets(). The returned layout is owned by the entry and must not be modified or freed by the caller.

Keep in mind that the layout text may contain a preedit string, so layout_index_to_text_index() and text_index_to_layout_index() are needed to convert byte indices in the layout to byte indices in the entry contents.

Returns:
The Pango::Layout for this entry.

void Gtk::Entry::get_layout_offsets ( int &  x,
int &  y 
)

Obtains the position of the Pango::Layout used to render text in the entry, in widget coordinates.

Useful if you want to line up the text in an entry with some other text, e.g. when using the entry to implement editable cells in a sheet widget.

Also useful to convert mouse events into coordinates inside the Pango::Layout, e.g. to take some action if some part of the entry text is clicked.

Note that as the user scrolls around in the entry the offsets will change; you'll need to connect to the "notify::scroll-offset" signal to track this. Remember when using the Pango::Layout functions you need to convert to and from pixels using PANGO_PIXELS() or Pango::SCALE.

Keep in mind that the layout text may contain a preedit string, so layout_index_to_text_index() and text_index_to_layout_index() are needed to convert byte indices in the layout to byte indices in the entry contents.

Parameters:
x Location to store X offset of layout, or 0.
y Location to store Y offset of layout, or 0.

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_drag_source ( EntryIconPosition  icon_pos,
const Glib::RefPtr<TargetList>&  target_list,
Gdk::DragAction  actions = Gdk::ACTION_COPY 
)

Sets up the icon at the given position so that GTK+ will start a drag operation when the user clicks and drags the icon.

To handle the drag operation, you need to connect to the usual Gtk::Widget::drag-data-get (or possibly Gtk::Widget::drag-data-delete) signal, and use get_current_icon_drag_source() in your signal handler to find out if the drag was started from an icon.

By default, GTK+ uses the icon as the drag icon. You can use the Gtk::Widget::drag-begin signal to set a different icon. Note that you have to use Glib::signal_connect_after() to ensure that your signal handler gets executed after the default handler.

Parameters:
icon_pos Icon position.
target_list The targets (data formats) in which the data can be provided.
actions A bitmask of the allowed drag actions.

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_from_gicon ( EntryIconPosition  icon_pos,

Since gtkmm 2.16:
Parameters:
icon_pos The icon position.
tooltip The contents of the tooltip for the icon, or 0.

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_tooltip_text ( EntryIconPosition  icon_pos,
const Glib::ustring tooltip 
)

Sets tooltip as the contents of the tooltip for the icon at the specified position.

Use 0 for tooltip to remove an existing tooltip.

See also Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_text() and set_icon_tooltip_markup().

Since gtkmm 2.16:
Parameters:
icon_pos The icon position.
tooltip The contents of the tooltip for the icon, or 0.

void Gtk::Entry::set_inner_border ( const Border border  ) 

Sets entry's inner-border property to border, or clears it if 0 is passed.

The inner-border is the area around the entry's text, but inside its frame.

If set, this property overrides the inner-border style property. Overriding the style-provided border is useful when you want to do in-place editing of some text in a canvas or list widget, where pixel-exact positioning of the entry is important.

Since gtkmm 2.10:
Parameters:
border A Gtk::Border, or 0.

void Gtk::Entry::set_invisible_char ( gunichar  ch  ) 

Sets the character to use in place of the actual text when set_visibility() has been called to set text visibility to false.

i.e. this is the character used in "password mode" to show the user how many characters have been typed. By default, GTK+ picks the best invisible char available in the current font. If you set the invisible char to 0, then the user will get no feedback at all; there will be no text on the screen as they type.

Parameters:
ch A Unicode character.

void Gtk::Entry::set_max_length ( int  max  ) 

Sets the maximum allowed length of the contents of the widget.

If the current contents are longer than the given length, then they will be truncated to fit.

Parameters:
max The maximum length of the entry, or 0 for no maximum. (other than the maximum length of entries.) The value passed in will be clamped to the range 0-65536.

void Gtk::Entry::set_overwrite_mode ( bool  overwrite = true  ) 

Sets whether the text is overwritten when typing in the Gtk::Entry.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters:
overwrite New value.

void Gtk::Entry::set_progress_fraction ( double  fraction  ) 

Causes the entry's progress indicator to "fill in" the given fraction of the bar.

The fraction should be between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.

Since gtkmm 2.16:
Parameters:
fraction Fraction of the task that's been completed.

void Gtk::Entry::set_progress_pulse_step ( double  fraction  ) 

Sets the fraction of total entry width to move the progress bouncing block for each call to progress_pulse().

Since gtkmm 2.16:
Parameters:
fraction Fraction between 0.0 and 1.0.

void Gtk::Entry::set_text ( const Glib::ustring text  ) 

Sets the text in the widget to the given value, replacing the current contents.

Parameters:
text The new text.

void Gtk::Entry::set_visibility ( bool  visible = true  ) 

Sets whether the contents of the entry are visible or not.

When visibility is set to false, characters are displayed as the invisible char, and will also appear that way when the text in the entry widget is copied elsewhere.

By default, GTK+ picks the best invisible character available in the current font, but it can be changed with set_invisible_char().

Parameters:
visible true if the contents of the entry are displayed as plaintext.

void Gtk::Entry::set_width_chars ( int  n_chars  ) 

Changes the size request of the entry to be about the right size for n_chars characters.

Note that it changes the size <emphasis>request</emphasis>, the size can still be affected by how you pack the widget into containers. If n_chars is -1, the size reverts to the default entry size.

Parameters:
n_chars Width in chars.

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::Entry::signal_activate (  ) 

Prototype:
void on_my_activate()

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,const Glib::ustring& > Gtk::Entry::signal_insert_at_cursor (  ) 

Prototype:
void on_my_insert_at_cursor(const Glib::ustring& str)

Glib::SignalProxy1<void,Menu*> Gtk::Entry::signal_populate_popup (  ) 

Prototype:
void on_my_populate_popup(Menu* menu)

int Gtk::Entry::text_index_to_layout_index ( int  text_index  )  const

Converts from a position in the entry's Pango::Layout (returned by get_layout()) to a position in the entry contents (returned by get_text()).

Parameters:
text_index Byte index into the entry contents.
Returns:
Byte index into the entry layout text.

void Gtk::Entry::unset_invisible_char (  ) 

Unsets the invisible char previously set with set_invisible_char().

So that the default invisible char is used again.
