public class EntryCompletion
extends GObject
implements Buildable, CellLayout

Deprecated.

GtkEntryCompletion is an auxiliary object to provide completion functionality for GtkEntry.

It implements the CellLayout 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 setTextColumn(int)), but this can be overridden with a custom match function (see setMatchFunc(org.gnome.gtk.EntryCompletionMatchFunc)).

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 Gtk.EntryCompletion::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 Entry.setCompletion(org.gnome.gtk.EntryCompletion).

GtkEntryCompletion uses a TreeModelFilter model to represent the subset of the entire model that is currently matching. While the GtkEntryCompletion signals Gtk.EntryCompletion::match-selected and Gtk.EntryCompletion::cursor-on-match take the original model and an iter pointing to that model as arguments, other callbacks and signals (such as GtkCellLayoutDataFunc or Gtk.CellArea::apply-attributes) will generally take the filter model as argument. As long as you are only calling TreeModel.get(org.gnome.gtk.TreeIter, java.lang.Object...), this will make no difference to you. If for some reason, you need the original model, use TreeModelFilter.getModel(). Don’t forget to use TreeModelFilter.convertIterToChildIter(org.gnome.gtk.TreeIter, org.gnome.gtk.TreeIter) to obtain a matching iter.

Constructor Details

EntryCompletion

public EntryCompletion(MemorySegment address)

Deprecated.

Create a EntryCompletion proxy instance for the provided memory address.

Parameters:

address - the memory address of the native object

EntryCompletion

public EntryCompletion()

Deprecated.

Creates a new EntryCompletion.

Method Details

getType

public static @Nullable Type getType()

Deprecated.

Get the GType of the EntryCompletion class

Returns:

the GType

asParent

protected EntryCompletion asParent()

Deprecated.

Returns this instance as if it were its parent type. This is mostly synonymous to the Java super keyword, but will set the native typeclass function pointers to the parent type. When overriding a native virtual method in Java, "chaining up" with super.methodName() doesn't work, because it invokes the overridden function pointer again. To chain up, call asParent().methodName(). This will call the native function pointer of this virtual method in the typeclass of the parent type.

Overrides:

asParent in class GObject

withArea

@Deprecated
public static EntryCompletion withArea(CellArea area)

Deprecated.

GtkEntryCompletion will be removed in GTK 5.

Creates a new GtkEntryCompletion object using the specified area.

The GtkCellArea is used to layout cells in the underlying GtkTreeViewColumn for the drop-down menu.

Parameters:

area - the GtkCellArea used to layout cells

Returns:

A newly created GtkEntryCompletion object

length - the minimum length of the key in order to start completing

setModel

@Deprecated
public void setModel(@Nullable TreeModel model)

Deprecated.

GtkEntryCompletion will be removed in GTK 5.

Parameters:

popupSingleMatch - true if the popup should appear even for a single match

setTextColumn

@Deprecated
public void setTextColumn(int column)

Deprecated.

GtkEntryCompletion will be removed in GTK 5.

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

This function will set up this EntryCompletion 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. If you need to set the text column, but don't want the cell renderer, use g_object_set() to set the Gtk.EntryCompletion:text-column property directly.

Parameters:

column - the column in the model of this EntryCompletion to get strings from

onCursorOnMatch

public SignalConnection<EntryCompletion.CursorOnMatchCallback> onCursorOnMatch(EntryCompletion.CursorOnMatchCallback handler)

Deprecated.

Emitted when a match from the cursor is on a match of the list.

The default behaviour is to replace the contents of the entry with the contents of the text column in the row pointed to by iter.

Note that model is the model that was passed to setModel(org.gnome.gtk.TreeModel).

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• EntryCompletion.CursorOnMatchCallback.run(org.gnome.gtk.TreeModel, org.gnome.gtk.TreeIter)

emitCursorOnMatch

public boolean emitCursorOnMatch(@Nullable TreeModel model,
 @Nullable TreeIter iter)

Emits the "cursor-on-match" signal. See onCursorOnMatch(org.gnome.gtk.EntryCompletion.CursorOnMatchCallback).

onInsertPrefix

public SignalConnection<EntryCompletion.InsertPrefixCallback> onInsertPrefix(EntryCompletion.InsertPrefixCallback handler)

Deprecated.

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 '/'.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• EntryCompletion.InsertPrefixCallback.run(java.lang.String)

onMatchSelected

public SignalConnection<EntryCompletion.MatchSelectedCallback> onMatchSelected(EntryCompletion.MatchSelectedCallback handler)

Deprecated.

Emitted when a match from the list is selected.

The default behaviour is to replace the contents of the entry with the contents of the text column in the row pointed to by iter.

Note that model is the model that was passed to setModel(org.gnome.gtk.TreeModel).

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• EntryCompletion.MatchSelectedCallback.run(org.gnome.gtk.TreeModel, org.gnome.gtk.TreeIter)

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• EntryCompletion.NoMatchesCallback.run()

emitNoMatches

public void emitNoMatches()

builder

public static EntryCompletion.Builder<? extends EntryCompletion.Builder> builder()

Deprecated.

A EntryCompletion.Builder object constructs a EntryCompletion with the specified properties. Use the various set...() methods to set properties, and finish construction with EntryCompletion.Builder.build().
