Class

GtkStringFilter

Description [src] 

final class Gtk.StringFilter : Gtk.Filter
{
  /* No available fields */
}

GtkStringFilter determines whether to include items by comparing strings to a fixed search term.

The strings are obtained from the items by evaluating a GtkExpression set with gtk_string_filter_set_expression(), and they are compared against a search term set with gtk_string_filter_set_search().

GtkStringFilter has several different modes of comparison - it can match the whole string, just a prefix, or any substring. Use gtk_string_filter_set_match_mode() choose a mode.

It is also possible to make case-insensitive comparisons, with gtk_string_filter_set_ignore_case().
