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

A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

property_attributes() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Pango::AttrList > Gtk::Entry::property_attributes

		Gdk::DragAction	actions = Gdk::DragAction::COPY,
		IconPosition	icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY
	)

Sets up the icon at the given position as drag source.

This makes it so that GTK will start a drag operation when the user clicks and drags the icon.

Parameters

icon_pos	Icon position.
provider	A Gdk::ContentProvider.
actions	A bitmask of the allowed drag actions.

set_icon_from_gicon()

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_from_gicon	(	const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Icon > &	icon,
		IconPosition	icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY
	)

Sets the icon shown in the entry at the specified position from the current icon theme.

If the icon isn’t known, a “broken image” icon will be displayed instead.

If icon is nullptr, no icon will be shown in the specified position.

Parameters

icon_pos	The position at which to set the icon.
icon	The icon to set.

set_icon_from_icon_name()

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_from_icon_name	(	const Glib::ustring &	icon_name,
		IconPosition	icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY
	)

Sets the icon shown in the entry at the specified position from the current icon theme.

If the icon name isn’t known, a “broken image” icon will be displayed instead.

If icon_name is nullptr, no icon will be shown in the specified position.

Parameters

icon_pos	The position at which to set the icon.
icon_name	An icon name.

set_icon_from_paintable()

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_from_paintable	(	const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Paintable > &	paintable,
		IconPosition	icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY
	)

Sets the icon shown in the specified position using a Gdk::Paintable.

If paintable is nullptr, no icon will be shown in the specified position.

Parameters

icon_pos	Icon position.
paintable	A Gdk::Paintable.

set_icon_sensitive()

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_sensitive	(	IconPosition	icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY,
		bool	sensitive = true
	)

Sets the sensitivity for the specified icon.

Parameters

icon_pos	Icon position.
sensitive	Specifies whether the icon should appear sensitive or insensitive.

set_icon_tooltip_markup()

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_tooltip_markup	(	const Glib::ustring &	tooltip,
		IconPosition	icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY
	)

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

tooltip is assumed to be marked up with Pango Markup.

Use nullptr for tooltip to remove an existing tooltip.

See also Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_markup() and set_icon_tooltip_text().

Parameters

icon_pos	The icon position.
tooltip	The contents of the tooltip for the icon.

set_icon_tooltip_text()

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_tooltip_text	(	const Glib::ustring &	tooltip,
		IconPosition	icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY
	)

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

Use nullptr for tooltip to remove an existing tooltip.

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

If you unset the widget tooltip via Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_text() or Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_markup(), this sets Gtk::Widget::property_has_tooltip() to false, which suppresses icon tooltips too. You can resolve this by then calling Gtk::Widget::set_has_tooltip() to set Gtk::Widget::property_has_tooltip() back to true, or setting at least one non-empty tooltip on any icon achieves the same result.

Parameters

icon_pos	The icon position.
tooltip	The contents of the tooltip for the icon.

set_input_hints()

void Gtk::Entry::set_input_hints

(

InputHints

hints

)

Set additional hints which allow input methods to fine-tune their behavior.

Parameters

hints

The hints.

set_input_purpose()

void Gtk::Entry::set_input_purpose

(

InputPurpose

purpose

)

Sets the input purpose which can be used by input methods to adjust their behavior.

Parameters

purpose

The purpose.

set_invisible_char()

void Gtk::Entry::set_invisible_char

(

gunichar

ch

)

Sets the character to use in place of the actual text in “password mode”.

See set_visibility() for how to enable “password mode”.

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.

set_max_length()

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. The length is in characters.

This is equivalent to getting entry's Gtk::EntryBuffer and calling Gtk::EntryBuffer::set_max_length() on it.

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.

set_overwrite_mode()

void Gtk::Entry::set_overwrite_mode

(

bool

overwrite = true

)

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

Parameters

overwrite

New value.

set_placeholder_text()

void Gtk::Entry::set_placeholder_text

(

const Glib::ustring &

text

)

Sets text to be displayed in entry when it is empty.

This can be used to give a visual hint of the expected contents of the Gtk::Entry.

Parameters

text	A string to be displayed when entry is empty and unfocused.

set_progress_fraction()

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.

Parameters

fraction

Fraction of the task that’s been completed.

set_progress_pulse_step()

void Gtk::Entry::set_progress_pulse_step

(

double

fraction

)

Sets the fraction of total entry width to move the progress bouncing block for each pulse.

Use progress_pulse() to pulse the progress.

Parameters

fraction

Fraction between 0.0 and 1.0.

set_tabs()

void Gtk::Entry::set_tabs

(

const Pango::TabArray &

tabs

)

Sets a Pango::TabArray.

The tabstops in the array are applied to the entry text.

Parameters

tabs	A Pango::TabArray.

set_visibility()

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().

Note that you probably want to set property_input_purpose() to Gtk::InputPurpose::PASSWORD or Gtk::InputPurpose::PIN to inform input methods about the purpose of this entry, in addition to setting visibility to false.

Parameters

visible

true if the contents of the entry are displayed as plaintext.

signal_activate()

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

(

signal_icon_release()

Glib::SignalProxy< void(IconPosition)> Gtk::Entry::signal_icon_release

Slot Prototype:

void on_my_icon_release(IconPosition icon_position)

Flags: Run Last

Emitted on the button release from a mouse click over an activatable icon.

The position of the clicked icon.

unset_icon()

void Gtk::Entry::unset_icon

(

IconPosition

icon_pos = IconPosition::PRIMARY

)

Do not show any icon in the specified position.

Parameters

icon_pos

The icon position.

unset_invisible_char()

void Gtk::Entry::unset_invisible_char
