Memory-managed wrapper type.

Type class for types which can be safely cast to EntryCompletion, for instance with toEntryCompletion.

Cast to EntryCompletion, for types for which this is known to be safe. For general casts, use castTo.

A convenience alias for Nothing :: Maybe EntryCompletion.

Requests a completion operation, or in other words a refiltering of the current list with completions, using the current key. The completion list view will be updated accordingly.

Since: 2.4

Computes the common prefix that is shared by all rows in completion that start with key. If no row matches key, Nothing will be returned. Note that a text column must have been set for this function to work, see entryCompletionSetTextColumn for details.

Since: 3.4

Deletes the action at index_ from completion’s action list.

Note that index_ is a relative position and the position of an action may have changed since it was inserted.

Since: 2.4

Get the original text entered by the user that triggered the completion or Nothing if there’s no completion ongoing.

Since: 2.12

Gets the entry completion has been attached to.

Since: 2.4

Returns whether the common prefix of the possible completions should be automatically inserted in the entry.

Since: 2.6

Returns True if inline-selection mode is turned on.

Since: 2.12

Returns the minimum key length as set for completion.

Since: 2.4

Returns the model the EntryCompletion is using as data source. Returns Nothing if the model is unset.

Since: 2.4

Returns whether the completions should be presented in a popup window.

Since: 2.6

Returns whether the completion popup window will be resized to the width of the entry.

Since: 2.8

Returns whether the completion popup window will appear even if there is only a single match.

Since: 2.8

Returns the column in the model of completion to get strings from.

Since: 2.6

Inserts an action in completion’s action item list at position index_ with markup markup.

Since: 2.4

Inserts an action in completion’s action item list at position index_ with text text. If you want the action item to have markup, use entryCompletionInsertActionMarkup.

Note that index_ is a relative position in the list of actions and the position of an action can change when deleting a different action.

Since: 2.4

Requests a prefix insertion.

Since: 2.6

Creates a new EntryCompletion object.

Since: 2.4

Creates a new EntryCompletion object using the specified area to layout cells in the underlying TreeViewColumn for the drop-down menu.

Since: 3.0

Sets whether the common prefix of the possible completions should be automatically inserted in the entry.

Since: 2.6

Sets whether it is possible to cycle through the possible completions inside the entry.

Since: 2.12

Sets the match function for completion to be func. The match function is used to determine if a row should or should not be in the completion list.

Since: 2.4

Requires the length of the search key for completion to be at least length. This is useful for long lists, where completing using a small key takes a lot of time and will come up with meaningless results anyway (ie, a too large dataset).

Since: 2.4

Sets the model for a EntryCompletion. If completion already has a model set, it will remove it before setting the new model. If model is Nothing, then it will unset the model.

Since: 2.4

Sets whether the completions should be presented in a popup window.

Since: 2.6

Sets whether the completion popup window will be resized to be the same width as the entry.

Since: 2.8

Sets whether the completion popup window will appear even if there is only a single match. You may want to set this to False if you are using [inline completion][GtkEntryCompletion--inline-completion].

Since: 2.8

Convenience function for setting up the most used case of this code: a completion list with just strings. This function will set up completion 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 CellRendererText 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 EntryCompletion:text-column property directly.
