Signal

GtkEntryCompletion::insert-prefix

since: 2.6

Declaration

gboolean
insert_prefix (
  GtkEntryCompletion* self,
  gchar* prefix,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description [src]

Gets emitted when the inline autocompletion is triggered. The default behaviour is to make the entry display the whole prefix and select the newly inserted part.

Applications may connect to this signal in order to insert only a smaller part of the prefix into the entry - e.g. the entry used in the GtkFileChooser inserts only the part of the prefix up to the next ‘/’.

Default handler:

The default handler is called after the handlers added via g_signal_connect().

Available since: 2.6

Parameters

prefix

Type: gchar*

The common prefix of all possible completions.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the signal has been handled.
