8. Entry¶
Entry widgets allow the user to enter text. You can change the contents with the
Gtk.Entry.set_text()
method, and read the current contents with the
Gtk.Entry.get_text()
method. You can also limit the number of characters
the Entry can take by calling Gtk.Entry.set_max_length()
.
Occasionally you might want to make an Entry widget read-only. This can be done
by passing False
to the Gtk.Entry.set_editable()
method.
Entry widgets can also be used to retrieve passwords from the user. It is common
practice to hide the characters typed into the entry to prevent revealing the
password to a third party. Calling Gtk.Entry.set_visibility()
with
False
will cause the text to be hidden.
Gtk.Entry
has the ability to display progress or activity information
behind the text. This is similar to Gtk.ProgressBar
widget and is
commonly found in web browsers to indicate how much of a page download has been
completed. To make an entry display such information, use
Gtk.Entry.set_progress_fraction()
, Gtk.Entry.set_progress_pulse_step()
,
or Gtk.Entry.progress_pulse()
.
Additionally, an Entry can show icons at either side of the entry. These icons
can be activatable by clicking, can be set up as drag source and can have tooltips.
To add an icon, use Gtk.Entry.set_icon_from_icon_name()
or one of the various other functions that set an icon from an icon name, a pixbuf,
or icon theme. To set a tooltip on an icon, use
Gtk.Entry.set_icon_tooltip_text()
or the corresponding function for markup.
