## Member Function Documentation

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::complete | ( |  | ) |

| Requests a completion operation, or in other words a refiltering of the current list with completions, using the current key. The completion list view will be updated accordingly. Since: 2.4

Glib::RefPtr<EntryCompletion> Gtk::EntryCompletion::create | ( |  | ) | `[static]`

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::delete_action | ( | int | index = `0` | ) |

Deletes the action at index from completion 's action list.

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | index | The index of the item to Delete.

const Entry* Gtk::EntryCompletion::get_entry | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the entry completion has been attached to.

Returns:
  The entry completion has been attached to.

Since: 2.4.

Entry* Gtk::EntryCompletion::get_entry | ( |  | ) |

Gets the entry completion has been attached to.

Returns:
  The entry completion has been attached to.

Since: 2.4.

bool Gtk::EntryCompletion::get_inline_completion | ( |  | ) | const

int Gtk::EntryCompletion::get_minimum_key_length | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the minimum key length as set for completion .

Returns:
  The currently used minimum key length.

Since: 2.4.

Glib::RefPtr<const TreeModel> Gtk::EntryCompletion::get_model | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the model the Gtk::EntryCompletion is using as data source.

Returns `0` if the model is unset.

Returns:
  A Gtk::TreeModel, or `0` if none is currently being used.

Since: 2.4.

Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel> Gtk::EntryCompletion::get_model | ( |  | ) |

Returns the model the Gtk::EntryCompletion is using as data source.

Returns `0` if the model is unset.

Returns:
  A Gtk::TreeModel, or `0` if none is currently being used.

Since: 2.4.

bool Gtk::EntryCompletion::get_popup_completion | ( |  | ) | const

int Gtk::EntryCompletion::get_text_column | ( |  | ) |

const GtkEntryCompletion* Gtk::EntryCompletion::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Provides access to the underlying C GObject. Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GtkEntryCompletion* Gtk::EntryCompletion::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

| Provides access to the underlying C GObject. Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GtkEntryCompletion* Gtk::EntryCompletion::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

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

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::insert_action_markup | ( | const Glib::ustring& | markup,
|  | int | index
| ) |

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::insert_action_text | ( | const Glib::ustring& | text,

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::set_match_func | ( | const SlotMatch& | slot | ) |

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::set_minimum_key_length | ( | int | length | ) |

Requires the length of the search key for completion to be at least length .

This is useful for long lists, where completing using a small key takes a lot of time and will come up with meaningless results anyway (ie, a too large dataset).

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | length | The minimum length of the key in order to start completing.

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::set_model | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel>& | model | ) |

Sets the model for a Gtk::EntryCompletion.

If completion already has a model set, it will remove it before setting the new model.

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | model | The Gtk::TreeModel.

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::set_popup_completion | ( | bool | popup_completion = `true` | ) |

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::set_text_column | ( | int | column | ) |

Convenience function for setting up the most used case of this code: a completion list with just strings.

This function will set up completion to have a list displaying all (and just) strings in the completion list, and to get those strings from column in the model of completion .

This functions creates and adds a GtkCellRendererText for the selected column.

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | column | The column in the model of completion to get strings from.

void Gtk::EntryCompletion::set_text_column | ( | const TreeModelColumnBase& | column | ) |

Convenience function for setting up the most used case of this code: a completion list with just strings.

This function will set up completion to have a list displaying all (and just) strings in the completion list, and to get those strings from column in the model of completion .

This functions creates and adds a GtkCellRendererText for the selected column.

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | column | The column in the model of completion to get strings from.

Glib::SignalProxy1<void,int> Gtk::EntryCompletion::signal_action_activated | ( |  | ) |

Glib::SignalProxy1<bool, const TreeModel::iterator&> Gtk::EntryCompletion::signal_match_selected | ( |  | ) |

Prototype:
  `bool match_selected(const TreeModel::iterator& iter)`

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::EntryCompletion> wrap | ( | GtkEntryCompletion* | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) | `[related]`

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance
