Implemented Interfaces

StEntry implements ClutterContainer, ClutterScriptable, ClutterAnimatable and AtkImplementorIface.

Description

StEntry is a simple widget for displaying text. It derives from StWidget to add extra style and placement functionality over ClutterText. The internal ClutterText is publicly accessibly to allow applications to set further properties.

StEntry supports the following pseudo style states:

  • focus: the widget has focus

  • indeterminate: the widget is showing the hint text

Functions

st_entry_new ()

StWidget *
st_entry_new (const gchar *text);

Create a new StEntry with the specified entry

Parameters

text

text to set the entry to

 

Returns

a new StEntry


st_entry_get_text ()

const gchar *
st_entry_get_text (StEntry *entry);

Get the text displayed on the entry

Parameters

entry

a StEntry

 

Returns

the text for the entry. This must not be freed by the application


st_entry_set_text ()

void
st_entry_set_text (StEntry *entry,
                   const gchar *text);

Sets the text displayed on the entry

Parameters

entry

a StEntry

 

text

text to set the entry to.

st_entry_get_clutter_text ()

ClutterActor *
st_entry_get_clutter_text (StEntry *entry);

Retrieve the internal ClutterText so that extra parameters can be set
