GtkEntryCompletion is an auxiliary object to be used in conjunction with
GtkEntry to provide the completion functionality. It implements the
GtkCellLayout interface, to allow the user to add extra cells to the
GtkTreeView with completion matches.
"Completion functionality" means that when the user modifies the text
in the entry, GtkEntryCompletion checks which rows in the model match
the current content of the entry, and displays a list of matches.
By default, the matching is done by comparing the entry text
case-insensitively against the text column of the model (see
gtk_entry_completion_set_text_column()), but this can be overridden
with a custom match function (see gtk_entry_completion_set_match_func()).
When the user selects a completion, the content of the entry is
updated. By default, the content of the entry is replaced by the
text column of the model, but this can be overridden by connecting
to the GtkEntryCompletion::match-selected signal and updating the
entry in the signal handler. Note that you should return TRUE from
the signal handler to suppress the default behaviour.
To add completion functionality to an entry, use gtk_entry_set_completion().
In addition to regular completion matches, which will be inserted into the
entry when they are selected, GtkEntryCompletion also allows to display
"actions" in the popup window. Their appearance is similar to menuitems,
to differentiate them clearly from completion strings. When an action is
selected, the GtkEntryCompletion::action-activated signal is emitted.
GtkEntryCompletion uses a GtkTreeModelFilter model to represent the
subset of the entire model that is currently matching. While the
GtkEntryCompletion signals GtkEntryCompletion::match-selected and
GtkEntryCompletion::cursor-on-match take the original model and an
iter pointing to that model as arguments, other callbacks and signals
(such as GtkCellLayoutDataFuncs or GtkCellArea::apply-attributes)
will generally take the filter model as argument. As long as you are
only calling gtk_tree_model_get(), this will make no difference to
you. If for some reason, you need the original model, use
gtk_tree_model_filter_get_model(). Don't forget to use
gtk_tree_model_filter_convert_iter_to_child_iter() to obtain a
matching iter.
