<title>Migrating from SexyIconEntry to GtkEntry</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
GTK+ 2.16 supports showing icons inside a #GtkEntry, similar to
|
|
SexyIconEntry. Porting from SexyIconEntry to GtkEntry is relatively
|
|
straightforward. The main difference between the two APIs is that
|
|
SexyIconEntry uses #GtkImage widgets in a somewhat awkward way as
|
|
storage vehicles for icons, while GtkEntry allows to specify icons
|
|
via pixbufs, stock ids, icon names or #GIcons. So, if your code uses
|
|
e.g.:
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting>
|
|
image = gtk_image_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_NEW, GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU);
|
|
sexy_icon_entry_set_icon (entry, SEXY_ICON_ENTRY_PRIMARY, image);
|
|
</programlisting></informalexample>
|
|
you can get rid of the @image, and directly write:
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting>
|
|
gtk_entry_set_icon_from_stock (entry, GTK_ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY, GTK_STOCK_NEW);
|
|
</programlisting></informalexample>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The signals SexyIconEntry::icon-pressed and SexyIconEntry::icon-released
|
|
have been renamed to #GtkEntry::icon-press and #GtkEntry::icon-release
|
|
to avoid problems due to signal name clashes. Also, the signature of the
|
|
signals has changed from
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting>
|
|
void (*icon_pressed) (SexyIconEntry *entry,
|
|
SexyIconEntryPosition icon_pos,
|
|
int button)
|
|
</programlisting></informalexample>
|
|
to
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting>
|
|
void (*icon_press) (GtkEntry *entry,
|
|
GtkEntryIconPosition icon_pos,
|
|
GdkEventButton *event)
|
|
</programlisting></informalexample>
|
|
The new signature has the advantage that the signal handler can use
|
|
the timestamp of the event, e.g. for passing it to gtk_menu_popup().
|
|
When adapting an existing signal handler to the new signature, you
|
|
should note that the button number is easily available as @event->button,
|
|
as shown in the following example:
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting>
|
|
static void
|
|
icon_pressed_cb (SexyIconEntry *entry,
|
|
SexyIconEntryPosition position,
|
|
int button,
|
|
gpointer data)
|
|
{
|
|
GtkMenu *menu = data;
|
|
|
|
if (position == SEXY_ICON_ENTRY_PRIMARY)
|
|
gtk_menu_popup (GTK_MENU (menu), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
|
|
button, GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting></informalexample>
|
|
can be ported as:
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting>
|
|
static void
|
|
icon_press_cb (GtkEntry *entry,
|
|
GtkEntryIconPosition position,
|
|
GdkEventButton *event,
|
|
gpointer data)
|
|
{
|
|
GtkMenu *menu = data;
|
|
|
|
if (position == GTK_ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY)
|
|
gtk_menu_popup (GTK_MENU (menu), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
|
|
event->button, event->time);
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting></informalexample>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Another difference is that SexyIconEntry offers manual control of
|
|
the icon prelighting, via sexy_icon_entry_set_icon_highlight().
|
|
#GtkEntry prelights automatically when appropriate, depending on
|
|
whether the icon is activatable and sensitive. You should make
|
|
sure that your icons are properly marked as activatable or nonactivatable
|
|
and sensitive or insensitive:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>
|
|
Sensitive, but non-activatable icons are
|
|
good for purely informational purposes.
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>
|
|
Icons should be marked as insensitive if the
|
|
function that they trigger is currently not available.
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
GtkEntry has no direct equivalent of the special-purpose function
|
|
sexy_icon_entry_add_clear_button(). If you need this functionality,
|
|
the following code works:
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting>
|
|
static void
|
|
icon_pressed_cb (GtkEntry *entry,
|
|
gint position,
|
|
GdkEventButton *event,
|
|
gpointer data)
|
|
{
|
|
if (position == GTK_ENTRY_ICON_SECONDARY)
|
|
gtk_entry_set_text (entry, "");
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static void
|
|
text_changed_cb (GtkEntry *entry,
|
|
GParamSpec *pspec,
|
|
GtkWidget *button)
|
|
{
|
|
gboolean has_text;
|
|
|
|
has_text = gtk_entry_get_text_length (entry) > 0;
|
|
gtk_entry_set_icon_sensitive (entry,
|
|
GTK_ENTRY_ICON_SECONDARY,
|
|
has_text);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
|
|
/* Set up the clear icon */
|
|
gtk_entry_set_icon_from_stock (GTK_ENTRY (entry),
|
|
GTK_ENTRY_ICON_SECONDARY,
|
|
GTK_STOCK_CLEAR);
|
|
g_signal_connect (entry, "icon-press",
|
|
G_CALLBACK (icon_pressed_cb), NULL);
|
|
g_signal_connect (entry, "notify::text",
|
|
G_CALLBACK (text_changed_cb), find_button);
|
|
|
|
/* ... */
|
