Class Gtk.EntryBuffer

Import line:	Gtk = imports.gi.Gtk;
GIR File:	Gtk-3.0.gir
C documentation:	GtkEntryBuffer
Class :	EntryBuffer
Extends:	GObject.Object

The GtkEntryBuffer class contains the actual text displayed in a
GtkEntry widget.
A single GtkEntryBuffer object can be shared by multiple GtkEntry
widgets which will then share the same text content, but not the cursor
position, visibility attributes, icon etc.
GtkEntryBuffer may be derived from. Such a derived class might allow
text to be stored in an alternate location, such as non-pageable memory,
useful in the case of important passwords. Or a derived class could
integrate with an application's concept of undo/redo.

Methods / Constructors
Method / Constructor		Defined By
	new Gtk.EntryBuffer (Object *properties) Create a new Gtk.EntryBuffer Create a new Gtk.EntryBuffer Parameters: Object properties*
	new Gtk.EntryBuffer.c_new (String *initial_chars, gint32 n_initial_chars) : Gtk.EntryBuffer Create a new Gtk.EntryBuffer Create a new Gtk.EntryBuffer Parameters: String initial_chars* initial buffer text, or NULL gint32 n_initial_chars Required (not null) number of characters in initial_chars, or -1 Returns: Gtk.EntryBuffer A new GtkEntryBuffer object.
	delete_text (guint32 *position, gint32 n_chars) : guint32 Deletes a sequence of characters from the buffer. Deletes a sequence of characters from the buffer. n_chars* characters are deleted starting at position. If n_chars is negative, then all characters until the end of the text are deleted. If position or n_chars are out of bounds, then they are coerced to sane values. Note that the positions are specified in characters, not bytes. Parameters: guint32 position Required (not null) position at which to delete text gint32 n_chars Required (not null) number of characters to delete Returns: guint32 The number of characters deleted.	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	emit_deleted_text (guint32 *position, guint32 n_chars) : none Used when subclassing GtkEntryBuffer* Used when subclassing GtkEntryBuffer Parameters: guint32 position Required (not null) position at which text was deleted guint32 n_chars Required (not null) number of characters deleted Returns: none	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	emit_inserted_text (guint32 *position, String chars, guint32 n_chars) : none Used when subclassing GtkEntryBuffer* Used when subclassing GtkEntryBuffer Parameters: guint32 position Required (not null) position at which text was inserted String chars Required (not null) text that was inserted guint32 n_chars Required (not null) number of characters inserted Returns: none	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	get_bytes () : guint32 Retrieves the length in bytes of the buffer. Retrieves the length in bytes of the buffer. See gtk_entry_buffer_get_length(). Returns: guint32 The byte length of the buffer.	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	get_length () : guint32 Retrieves the length in characters of the buffer. Retrieves the length in characters of the buffer. Returns: guint32 The number of characters in the buffer.	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	get_max_length () : gint32 Retrieves the maximum allowed length of the text in in GtkEntryBuffer, or 0 if there is no maximum. Retrieves the maximum allowed length of the text in in GtkEntryBuffer, or 0 if there is no maximum. Returns: gint32 the maximum allowed number of characters	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	get_text () : String Retrieves the contents of the buffer. Retrieves the contents of the buffer. The memory pointer returned by this call will not change unless this object emits a signal, or is finalized. string. This string points to internally allocated storage in the buffer and must not be freed, modified or stored. Returns: String a pointer to the contents of the widget as a	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	insert_text (guint32 *position, String chars, gint32 n_chars) : guint32 Inserts n_chars* characters of chars into the contents of the buffer, at position position. Inserts n_chars characters of chars into the contents of the buffer, at position position. If n_chars is negative, then characters from chars will be inserted until a null-terminator is found. If position or n_chars are out of bounds, or the maximum buffer text length is exceeded, then they are coerced to sane values. Note that the position and length are in characters, not in bytes. Parameters: guint32 position Required (not null) the position at which to insert text. String chars Required (not null) the text to insert into the buffer. gint32 n_chars Required (not null) the length of the text in characters, or -1 Returns: guint32 The number of characters actually inserted.	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	set_max_length (gint32 *max_length) : none Sets the maximum allowed length of the contents of the buffer. Sets the maximum allowed length of the contents of the buffer. If the current contents are longer than the given length, then they will be truncated to fit. Parameters: gint32 max_length* Required (not null) the maximum length of the entry buffer, or 0 for no maximum. (other than the maximum length of entries.) The value passed in will be clamped to the range 0-65536. Returns: none	Gtk.EntryBuffer
	set_text (String *chars, gint32 n_chars) : none Sets the text in the buffer. Sets the text in the buffer. This is roughly equivalent to calling gtk_entry_buffer_delete_text() and gtk_entry_buffer_insert_text(). Note that n_chars* is in characters, not in bytes. Parameters: String chars Required (not null) the new text gint32 n_chars Required (not null) the number of characters in text, or -1 Returns: none	Gtk.EntryBuffer
