Detailed Description

A Text buffer for the Entry widget.

The EntryBuffer class contains the actual text displayed in an Entry widget.

A single EntryBuffer object can be shared by multiple Entry widgets which will then share the same text content, but not the cursor position, visibility attributes, icon etc.

EntryBuffer 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.

Since gtkmm 2.20:

Gtk::EntryBuffer::~EntryBuffer ( )
overridenoexcept

◆ EntryBuffer() [2/3]

Gtk::EntryBuffer::EntryBuffer ( )

Create a new EntryBuffer object with no text.

◆ EntryBuffer() [3/3]

Gtk::EntryBuffer::EntryBuffer ( const Glib::ustring &  text)
explicitprotected

Create a new EntryBuffer object.

Parameters
textInitial buffer text.

Member Function Documentation

◆ create() [1/2]

static Glib::RefPtr< EntryBuffer > Gtk::EntryBuffer::create ( )
static

Create a new EntryBuffer object with no text.

◆ create() [2/2]

static Glib::RefPtr< EntryBuffer > Gtk::EntryBuffer::create ( const Glib::ustring &  text)
static

Create a new EntryBuffer object.

Parameters
textInitial buffer text.

◆ delete_text()

guint Gtk::EntryBuffer::delete_text ( guint  position,
int  n_chars 
)

Deletes a sequence of characters from the buffer.

n_chars characters are deleted starting at position. If n_chars is negative, then all characters until the end of the text are deleted.

If position or n_chars are out of bounds, then they are coerced to sane values.

Note that the positions are specified in characters, not bytes.

Since gtkmm 2.18:
Parameters
positionPosition at which to delete text.
n_charsNumber of characters to delete.
Returns
The number of characters deleted.

◆ emit_deleted_text()

void Gtk::EntryBuffer::emit_deleted_text ( guint  position,
guint  n_chars 
)

Used when subclassing Gtk::EntryBuffer.

Since gtkmm 2.18:
Parameters
positionPosition at which text was deleted.
n_charsNumber of characters deleted.

◆ emit_inserted_text()

void Gtk::EntryBuffer::emit_inserted_text ( guint  position,
const Glib::ustring &  text 
)

Used when deriving from EntryBuffer.

Parameters
positionPosition at which text was inserted.
textText that was inserted.

◆ get_bytes()

gsize Gtk::EntryBuffer::get_bytes ( ) const

Retrieves the length in bytes of the buffer.

See get_length().

Since gtkmm 2.18:
Returns
The byte length of the buffer.

◆ get_length()

guint Gtk::EntryBuffer::get_length ( ) const

Retrieves the length in characters of the buffer.

Since gtkmm 2.18:
Returns
The number of characters in the buffer.

◆ get_max_length()

int Gtk::EntryBuffer::get_max_length ( ) const

Retrieves the maximum allowed length of the text in buffer.

See set_max_length().

Since gtkmm 2.18:
Returns
The maximum allowed number of characters in Gtk::EntryBuffer, or 0 if there is no maximum.

◆ get_text()

Glib::ustring Gtk::EntryBuffer::get_text ( ) const

Retrieves the contents of the buffer.

The memory pointer returned by this call will not change unless this object emits a signal, or is finalized.

Since gtkmm 2.18:
Returns
A pointer to the contents of the widget as a string. This string points to internally allocated storage in the buffer and must not be freed, modified or stored.

◆ get_type()

static GType Gtk::EntryBuffer::get_type ( )
static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ gobj() [1/2]

GtkEntryBuffer * Gtk::EntryBuffer::gobj ( )
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GtkEntryBuffer * Gtk::EntryBuffer::gobj ( ) const
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj_copy()

GtkEntryBuffer * Gtk::EntryBuffer::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

◆ insert_text()

guint Gtk::EntryBuffer::insert_text ( guint  position,
const Glib::ustring &  text 
)

Inserts text into the contents of the buffer, at position position.

Parameters
positionThe position at which to insert text.
textThe text to insert into the buffer.
Returns
The number of characters actually inserted.

◆ on_deleted_text()

virtual void Gtk::EntryBuffer::on_deleted_text ( guint  position,
guint  n_chars 
)
protectedvirtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_deleted_text().

◆ on_inserted_text()

virtual void Gtk::EntryBuffer::on_inserted_text ( guint  position,
const gchar *  chars,
guint  n_chars 
)
protectedvirtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_inserted_text().

noexcept

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_text() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gtk::EntryBuffer::property_text ( ) const

The contents of the buffer.

max_lengthThe maximum length of the entry buffer, 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_text()

void Gtk::EntryBuffer::set_text ( const Glib::ustring &  text)

Sets the text in the buffer.

This is roughly equivalent to calling delete_text() and insert_text().
