## 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:

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.

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

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`.

Reimplemented from Gtk::CellEditable.

Reimplemented in Gtk::SpinButton.

bool Gtk::Entry::im_context_filter_keypress | ( | GdkEventKey * | event | ) |

Allow the Gtk::Entry input method to internally handle key press and release events.

If this function returns `true`, then no further processing should be done for this key event. See gtk_im_context_filter_keypress().

Note that you are expected to call this function from your handler when overriding key event handling. This is needed in the case when you need to insert your own key handling between the input method and the default key event handling of the Gtk::Entry. See Gtk::TextView::reset_im_context() for an example of use.

Since gtkmm 2.22:

Parameters:

  event | The key event.

Returns:
  `true` if the input method handled the key event.

void Gtk::Entry::reset_im_context | ( |  | ) |

Reset the input method context of the entry if needed.

This can be necessary in the case where modifying the buffer would confuse on-going input method behavior.

Since gtkmm 2.22:

void Gtk::Entry::set_activates_default | ( | bool | setting = `true` | ) |

If setting is `true`, pressing Enter in the entry will activate the default widget for the window containing the entry.

This usually means that the dialog box containing the entry will be closed, since the default widget is usually one of the dialog buttons.

(For experts: if setting is `true`, the entry calls Gtk::Window::activate_default() on the window containing the entry, in the default handler for the Gtk::Widget::signal_activate() signal.)

Parameters:

  setting | `true` to activate window's default widget on Enter keypress.

void Gtk::Entry::set_alignment | ( | float | xalign | ) |

Sets the alignment for the contents of the entry.

This controls the horizontal positioning of the contents when the displayed text is shorter than the width of the entry.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  xalign | The horizontal alignment, from 0 (left) to 1 (right). Reversed for RTL layouts.

void Gtk::Entry::set_alignment | ( | Align | xalign | ) |

Sets the alignment for the contents of the entry.

This controls the horizontal positioning of the contents when the displayed text is shorter than the width of the entry.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  xalign | The horizontal alignment, from 0 (left) to 1 (right). Reversed for RTL layouts.

void Gtk::Entry::set_buffer | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< EntryBuffer >& | buffer | ) |

Set the Gtk::EntryBuffer object which holds the text for this widget.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

  buffer | A Gtk::EntryBuffer.

void Gtk::Entry::set_completion | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< EntryCompletion >& | completion | ) |

Sets completion to be the auxiliary completion object to use with entry.

All further configuration of the completion mechanism is done on completion using the Gtk::EntryCompletion API. Completion is disabled if completion is set to `0`.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

  completion | The Gtk::EntryCompletion or `0`.

void Gtk::Entry::set_cursor_hadjustment | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Adjustment >& | adjustment | ) |

Hooks up an adjustment to the cursor position in an entry, so that when the cursor is moved, the adjustment is scrolled to show that position.

See Gtk::ScrolledWindow::get_hadjustment() for a typical way of obtaining the adjustment.

The adjustment has to be in pixel units and in the same coordinate system as the entry.

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

  adjustment | An adjustment which should be adjusted when the cursor is moved, or `0`.

void Gtk::Entry::set_has_frame | ( | bool | setting = `true` | ) |

Sets whether the entry has a beveled frame around it.

Parameters:

  setting | New value.

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_activatable | ( | bool | activatable = `true`,
|  | EntryIconPosition | icon_pos = `ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY`
| ) |  |

Sets whether the icon is activatable.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters:

  icon_pos | Icon position.
  activatable | `true` if the icon should be activatable.

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

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::signal_drag_data_get() (or possibly Gtk::Widget::signal_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::signal_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.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

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 | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Icon > & | icon,
|  | EntryIconPosition | icon_pos = `ENTRY_ICON_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 `0`, no icon will be shown in the specified position.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters:

  icon_pos | The position at which to set the icon.
  icon | The icon to set, or `0`.

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_from_icon_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | icon_name,
|  | EntryIconPosition | icon_pos = `ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY`
| ) |  |

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

If icon_name is `0`, no icon will be shown in the specified position.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters:

  icon_pos | The position at which to set the icon.
  icon_name | An icon name, or `0`.

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_from_pixbuf | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Pixbuf >& | pixbuf,
|  | EntryIconPosition | icon_pos = `ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY`
| ) |  |

If pixbuf is `0`, no icon will be shown in the specified position.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters:

  icon_pos | Icon position.
  pixbuf | A Gdk::Pixbuf, or `0`.

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_from_stock | ( | const StockID& | stock_id,

| ) |  |

Sets the sensitivity for the specified icon.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters:

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

void Gtk::Entry::set_icon_tooltip_markup | ( | const Glib::ustring & | tooltip,
|  | EntryIconPosition | icon_pos = `ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY`
| ) |  |

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

tooltip is assumed to be marked up with the Pango text markup language.

Use `0` for tooltip to remove an existing tooltip.

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

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 | ( | const Glib::ustring & | tooltip,
|  | EntryIconPosition | icon_pos = `ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY`
| ) |  |

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:

Deprecated: 3.4: Use the standard border and padding CSS properties; the value set with this function is ignored by Gtk::Entry.

Deprecated:
  Use the standard border and padding CSS properties instead (through classes like StyleContext and CssProvider).

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.

This is equivalent to:

[C example ellipted]

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_placeholder_text | ( | const Glib::ustring & | text | ) |

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

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

Note that since the placeholder text gets removed when the entry received focus, using this feature is a bit problematic if the entry is given the initial focus in a window. Sometimes this can be worked around by delaying the initial focus setting until the first key event arrives.

Since gtkmm 3.2:

Parameters:

  text | A string to be displayed when entry is empty an unfocused, or `0`.

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.

See Gtk::EntryBuffer::set_text().

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 request, 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 | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_activate()`

A keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user activates the entry.

Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with Glib::signal_emit_by_name() if they need to control activation programmatically.

The default bindings for this signal are all forms of the Enter key.

Deprecated:
  Use signal_key_press_event() or signal_focus_out_event() instead.

Glib::SignalProxy2< void,EntryIconPosition,const GdkEventButton* > Gtk::Entry::signal_icon_press | ( |  | ) |
