HildonEntry implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable, GtkEditable and GtkCellEditable.
The HildonEntry is a GTK widget which represents a text entry. It is derived from the GtkEntry widget and provides additional commodities specific to the Hildon framework.
Besides all the features inherited from GtkEntry, a HildonEntry
can also have a placeholder text. This text will be shown if the
entry is empty and doesn't have the input focus, but it's otherwise
ignored. Thus, calls to hildon_entry_get_text() will never return
the placeholder text, not even when it's being displayed.
Although HildonEntry is derived from GtkEntry,
gtk_entry_get_text() and gtk_entry_set_text() must never be used to
get/set the text in this widget. hildon_entry_get_text() and
hildon_entry_set_text() must be used instead.
Example 21. Creating a HildonEntry with a placeholder
GtkWidget *
create_entry (void)
{
GtkWidget *entry;
entry = hildon_entry_new (HILDON_SIZE_AUTO);
hildon_entry_set_placeholder (HILDON_ENTRY (entry), "First name");
return entry;
}
GtkWidget* hildon_entry_new (HildonSizeType size);
Creates a new entry.

The size of the entry |
| Returns : | a new HildonEntry |
Since 2.2
void hildon_entry_set_text (HildonEntry *entry, const gchar *text);
Sets the text in entry to text, replacing its current contents.
Note that you must never use gtk_entry_set_text() to set the text
of a HildonEntry.
entry : |
a HildonEntry |
text : |
the new text |
Since 2.2
const gchar* hildon_entry_get_text (HildonEntry *entry);
Gets the current text in entry.
Note that you must never use gtk_entry_get_text() to get the text
from a HildonEntry.
Also note that placeholder text (set using
hildon_entry_set_placeholder()) is never returned. Only text set by
hildon_entry_set_text() or typed by the user is considered.
