I am trying to do something like this picture, with a GTK Entry:
Basically, what I want is that, if the user types "keyb" (white text), the Entry will suggest "oard" (gray text) because the word "keyboard" is in a list of words, that I will provide.
I have tried the SetCompletion() function, but that opens a drop down with suggestions, and I guess I'll go with that if there is no other way. I have tried searching for it, but it is hard when you don't know the GTK word for this "technique". Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
Try this
EntryCompletion.set_inline_completion(True)

I use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript mostly as I'm new to frontend development. The cursor is driving me crazy every time I am using VS code. I have disabled my format Pettier and JS-CSS-HTML and it still moves around. I am so confused and have tried multiple "solutions" of which none have worked. I'm sure it's a setting but I can't seem to find it. I wanted to put a video so someone could see the problem but can't only screen shots which I don't think will help. Let's take CSS => When I type #title-container {} the cursor just jumps out of the input brackets. Also the cursor won't let me add extra lines and returns the line after, back before I even get a chance to type anything.
Hopefully you understand this....
I have an eclipse plugin and I would like to programmatically disable help content TOC's based on a variable I define. In a nut shell, I want to prevent some help docs from showing up in the help contents if a specific type of user is accessing the plugin.
Preferably I would like to do this in the ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor somewhere.
One thought would be to modify the "primary" value to be false if the variable were set.
Not sure if it would work, but try using the org.eclipse.ui.activities extension point. The tutorial from Vogella tells it is possible to hide only UI elements like wizards, views and so on, but it is from 2009.. Not sure if hiding TOC is now possible. If you try it out, would be nice to give a feedback ;)
What is the best way to bind multiple keyboard shortcuts to one action in GTK+ 3?
I have been searching for an answer to this for a few days and have come up with naught. The function gtk_accelerator_parse does not support comma-deliminated shortcuts. Putting multiple <accelerator> tags in a .ui file with the same action attribute and different key attributes also does not work.
I do not want to have to write a custom key press handler just so I can have two shortcuts for one action, but is that really the only way?
Since GTK version 3.12 (released on 2014-03-25) there is a new method called gtk_application_set_accels_for_action() that should help.
I have found a way, but it is truly terrible. Using gtk_accel_group_connect I can add additional accelerators for my own functions which can then trigger the action desired based off the key pressed and any modifiers. This however feels like a hack as I am basically creating my own accelerator-to-action map rather than using GTK's.
I would like to know a better way, if anyone knows of one.
I am in a very big issue. I need to be able to create a product taxonomy view together with ADD,DELETE,MODIFY functionality. On the first level the products will be general and as we go deep, it will become more specific.
for e.g. on the first level,
->Computer
-->Keyboard
-->Qwerty Keyboard
-->... Keyboard
-->Mouse
-->Wireless Mouse
-->2 Key Mouse
-->3 Key Mouse
-->MagicMouse
->Other
....
->Furniture
Can someone give me an idea about this??
Ok, I have been able to do it, the main idea is the listdataprovider
I am trying to create GTK Widget like shows in following Images
Is it possible to create it in GTK+ under C,
I tried using GtkExpander but it is not working out ...
Can any one Help....
Stripping the arrow is quite trivial. Just append the following code to you $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 (or create it if not found):
style "pradeep" {
GtkExpander::expander-size = 0
GtkExpander::expander-spacing = 0
}
widget "*.GtkExpander" style "pradeep"
This is done by customizing the appearance using resource files. You can get the same result programmatically by changing the GtkExpander style properties.
Furthermore, you can connect your own callback to its "activate" signal and switch the background color of the widget whenever is active or not. And a lot more...
Just remember someone loves to have a consistent user interface.
If what you want is to duplicate the look, then there are two very inefficient solutions to the problem:
Write your own GTK theme engine (see Murrine or Clearlooks).
Replace your entire program by a GtkDrawingArea widget and use Cairo to draw exactly the look you want. You'll be on your own then, though, so you'll have to write all your widget placement algorithms, buttons, expanders, menus, and whatnot, from scratch.
GTK isn't really meant for this sort of thing. The whole point of GTK is that you design your user interface with the standard widgets, and they just work with whatever theme, language, or accessibility technologies your users need to use. If you design your own look and there's no way to change it, then someone with color blindness or poor eyesight won't be able to use it. Or the text will get all misaligned if someone uses your application in another language. Or at the very least, maybe someone just likes a black desktop with white lettering, and your application will stick out and look really ugly on that user's computer. If you really need to make it look exactly that way, then probably GTK isn't the right tool for you.
