gtk-sharp Gtk# is thread aware, but not thread safe; See the Gtk# Thread Programming for details. Gtk.Widget Gtk.CellEditable Gtk.Editable An Entry is a single-line text entry widget. This widget should be used to retrieve small amounts of text from the user. A fairly large set of key bindings are supported by default. If the entered text is longer than the allocation of the widget, the widget will scroll so that the cursor position is visible. See also the widget for displaying and editing large amounts of text. using System; using Gtk; class EntrySample { Entry entry; static void Main () { new EntrySample (); } EntrySample () { Application.Init (); Window win = new Window ("EntrySample"); win.SetDefaultSize (200, 150); win.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler (OnWinDelete); VBox vbox = new VBox (false, 1); win.Add (vbox); entry = new Entry ("hello world"); entry.Editable = true; entry.Visibility = true; vbox.Add (entry); CheckButton editable = new CheckButton ("Editable"); editable.Toggled += new EventHandler (OnEditableToggled); editable.Active = true; vbox.Add (editable); CheckButton visibility = new CheckButton ("Visibility"); visibility.Toggled += new EventHandler (OnVisibilityToggled); visibility.Active = true; vbox.Add (visibility); win.ShowAll (); Application.Run (); } void OnEditableToggled (object obj, EventArgs args) { entry.Editable = !entry.Editable; } void OnVisibilityToggled (object obj, EventArgs args) { entry.Visibility = !entry.Visibility; } void OnWinDelete (object obj, DeleteEventArgs args) { Application.Quit (); } } Constructor Construct a new entry widget Constructor To be added.
