Hierarchy

Detailed Description

The GtkEntryBuffer class contains the actual text displayed in a GtkEntry widget.

A single GtkEntryBuffer object can be shared by multiple GtkEntry widgets which will then share the same text content, but not the cursor position, visibility attributes, icon etc. GtkEntryBuffer may be derived from. Such a derived class might allow text to be stored in an alternate location, such as non-pageable memory, useful in the case of important passwords. Or a derived class could integrate with an application's concept of undo/redo.

Structures

Convenient Construction

gtkEntryBuffer is the equivalent of gtkEntryBufferNew.

Signals

deleted-text(entrybuffer, user.data)

undocumented

entrybuffer

the object which received the signal.

user.data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

inserted-text(entrybuffer, user.data)

undocumented

entrybuffer

the object which received the signal.

user.data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.
