* gtk/gtkbindings.c (gtk_binding_set_add_path): to compare pattern
specs, use g_pattern_spec_equal() instead of direct field accesses.
upon compressing two equal paths of the same type, the resulting
priority has to be the maximum.
* gtk/gtkenums.h (enum): take GTK_PATH_PRIO_MASK out of the
GtkPathPriorityType enum and make it a macro.

GtkEditable

|
The #GtkEditable class is a base class for widgets
|
|
for editing text, such as #GtkEntry and #GtkText. It
|
|
cannot be instantiated by itself. The editable
|
|
class contains functions for generically manipulating
|
|
an editable widget, a large number of action signals
|
|
used for key bindings, and several signals that
|
|
an application can connect to to modify the behavior
|
|
of a widget.

As an example of the latter usage, by connecting
|
|
the following handler to "insert_text", an application
|
|
can convert all entry into a widget into uppercase.
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title> Forcing entry to uppercase </title>

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_editable_select_region ##### -->

<para>
|
|
Selects a region of text. The characters that
|
|
are selected are those characters at positions from
|
|
@start_pos up to, but not including @end_pos. If
|
|
@end_pos is negative, then the the characters selected
|
|
will be those characters from @start_pos to the end
|
|
of the text.
|
|
</para>
|
|

|
|
Gets the current selection bounds, if there is a selection.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
@editable: a #GtkEditable widget.
|
|
@start: location to store the starting position, or %NULL.

|
|
@new_text: the text to insert.
|
|
@new_text_length: the length of the text to insert, in bytes
|
|
@position: an inout parameter. The caller initializes it to
|
|
the position at which to insert the text. After the
|
|
call it points at the position after the newly
|
|
inserted text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### FUNCTION gtk_editable_delete_text ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|

|
|
are deleted are those characters at positions from
|
|
@start_pos up to, but not including @end_pos. If
|
|
@end_pos is negative, then the the characters deleted
|
|
will be those characters from @start_pos to the end
|
|
of the text.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
@editable: a #GtkEditable widget.
|
|
@start_pos: the starting position.

|
|
@start_pos up to, but not including @end_pos. If
|
|
@end_pos is negative, then the the characters retrieved
|
|
will be those characters from @start_pos to the end

<!-- ##### SIGNAL GtkEditable::delete-text ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
This signal is emitted when text is deleted from
|
|
the widget by the user. The default handler for
|
|
this signal will normally be responsible for inserting
|
|
the text, so by connecting to this signal and then
|
|
stopping the signal with gtk_signal_emit_stop(), it
|
|
is possible to modify the inserted text, or prevent
|
|
it from being inserted entirely. The @start_pos
|
|
and @end_pos parameters are interpreted as for
|
|
gtk_editable_delete_text()
|
|
</para>
|
|

|
@editable: the object which received the signal.
|
|
@start_pos: the starting position.
