public class EntryCompletion
extends GObject

EntryCompletion is an auxiliary object to be used in conjunction with Entry to provide the completion functionality. To add completion functionality to an Entry, use setCompletion(). In addition to regular completion matches, which will be inserted into the entry when they are selected, EntryCompletion also allows to display "actions" in the popup window. Their appearance is similar to menuitems, to differentiate them clearly from completion strings. When an action is selected, the ::action-activated signal is emitted.

Constructor Detail

EntryCompletion

public EntryCompletion()
Creates a new EntryCompletion object.


EntryCompletion

public EntryCompletion(org.gnu.glib.Handle nativeHandle)
Method Detail

getEntryCompletion

public static EntryCompletion getEntryCompletion(org.gnu.glib.Handle handle)
Internal static factory method to be used by Java-Gnome only.


getEntry

public Entry getEntry()
Returns the Entry this completion is attached to.


setModel

public void setModel(TreeModel model)
Sets the model for this EntryCompletion. If there is already a model set it will remove it before setting the new mode.

Parameters:
model -

getModel

public TreeModel getModel()
Returns the model that the EntryCompletion is using as a data source.


setMinimumKeyLength

public void setMinimumKeyLength(int length)
Requires the length of the search key for the EntryCompletion 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.

Parameters:
length -

getMinimumKeyLength

public int getMinimumKeyLength()
Returns the minimum key length as set for completion.


complete

public void complete()
Requests a completion operation, or in other words a refiltering of the current list with completions, using the current key.


insertPrefix

public void insertPrefix()
Request a prefix insertion.


insertActionText

public void insertActionText(int index,
                             java.lang.String text)
Inserts an action in the EntryCompletion's action list with the position and text provided. If this item is selected an event will be triggered of type ACTION_ACTIVATED. You can get the index value from the EntryCompletionEvent object.

Parameters:
index -
text -

insertActionMarkup

public void insertActionMarkup(int index,
                               java.lang.String markup)
Inserts an action in the EntryCompletion's action list with the position and text provided. If this item is selected an event will be triggered of type ACTION_ACTIVATED. You can get the index value from the EntryCompletionEvent object.

Parameters:
index -
markup -

deleteAction

public void deleteAction(int index)
Remove an action for the EntryCompletions action list.

Parameters:
index -

setInlineCompletion

public void setInlineCompletion(boolean inlineCompletion)
Sets whether the common prefix of the possible completion should be automatically inserted into the entry.

Parameters:

public boolean getInlineCompletion()
Returns whether the common prefix of the possible completion should be automatically inserted into the entry.


setPopupCompletion

public void setPopupCompletion(boolean popupCompletion)
Sets whether the completion should be presented in a popup window.

Parameters:

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


setTextColumn

public void setTextColumn(int column)
Specify which column in the model to use to display the strings.
