Class
GtkSearchEntry
Description [src]
final class Gtk.SearchEntry : Gtk.Widget {
/* No available fields */
}GtkSearchEntry is an entry widget that has been tailored for use
as a search entry.
The main API for interacting with a GtkSearchEntry as entry
is the GtkEditable interface.
It will show an inactive symbolic “find” icon when the search entry is empty, and a symbolic “clear” icon when there is text. Clicking on the “clear” icon will empty the search entry.
To make filtering appear more reactive, it is a good idea to
not react to every change in the entry text immediately, but
only after a short delay. To support this, GtkSearchEntry
emits the GtkSearchEntry::search-changed signal which
can be used instead of the GtkEditable::changed signal.
The GtkSearchEntry::previous-match,
GtkSearchEntry::next-match and
GtkSearchEntry::stop-search signals can be used to
implement moving between search results and ending the search.
Often, GtkSearchEntry will be fed events by means of being
placed inside a GtkSearchBar. If that is not the case,
you can use gtk_search_entry_set_key_capture_widget() to
let it capture key input from another widget.
GtkSearchEntry provides only minimal API and should be used with
the GtkEditable API.
