Properties

"cursor-on-match": (arg0: Gtk.TreeModel, arg1: Gtk.TreeIter) => boolean | void

Emitted when a match from the cursor is on a match of the list.

The default behaviour is to replace the contents of the entry with the contents of the text column in the row pointed to by iter.

Note that model is the model that was passed to Gtk.EntryCompletion.set_model.

"insert-prefix": (arg0: string) => boolean | void

Emitted when the inline autocompletion is triggered.

The default behaviour is to make the entry display the whole prefix and select the newly inserted part.

Applications may connect to this signal in order to insert only a smaller part of the prefix into the entry - e.g. the entry used in the Gtk.FileChooser inserts only the part of the prefix up to the next '/'.

"match-selected": (arg0: Gtk.TreeModel, arg1: Gtk.TreeIter) => boolean | void

Emitted when a match from the list is selected.

The default behaviour is to replace the contents of the entry with the contents of the text column in the row pointed to by iter.

Note that model is the model that was passed to Gtk.EntryCompletion.set_model.

"no-matches": () => void

Emitted when the filter model has zero number of rows in completion_complete method.

In other words when Gtk.EntryCompletion is out of suggestions.

Properties - Inherited from GObject

notify: (arg0: GObject.ParamSpec) => void

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.

Note that getting this signal doesn’t itself guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed. When it is emitted is determined by the derived GObject class. If the implementor did not create the property with GObject.ParamFlags.EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then any call to g_object_set_property() results in ::notify being emitted, even if the new value is the same as the old. If they did pass GObject.ParamFlags.EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then this signal is emitted only when they explicitly call g_object_notify() or g_object_notify_by_pspec(), and common practice is to do that only when the value has actually changed.

This signal is typically used to obtain change notification for a single property, by specifying the property name as a detail in the g_signal_connect() call, like this:

g_signal_connect (text_view->buffer, "notify::paste-target-list",
G_CALLBACK (gtk_text_view_target_list_notify),
text_view)

It is important to note that you must use [canonical parameter names][class@GObject.ParamSpec#parameter-names] as detail strings for the notify signal.
