                         int end)

As this decoration is a strong visual cue for users to realize that they are able to enter text into a given control, your are discouraged from turning it off unless you really need to minutely control placement; in that case, see also setInnerBorder().

Since:

4.0.8

setIconActivatable

                               boolean setting)

                              Pixbuf pixbuf)

                           int bottom)

Set the padding between the text entry control itself, and the surrounding decoration. This overrides the inner-border style property set by the theme.

Ordinarily you shouldn't need this; in general you should leave things alone so that Entries appear uniform across the user's desktop. This is provided for the rare cases that minute positioning control is required (think of what goes on when you edit text in a CellRendererText) it is possible to do so.

Since:

4.0.8

setInvisibleChar

public void setInvisibleChar(char replacement)

Change the character used to obscure text when visibility is false.

Parameters:

replacement - The new character to be used to obscure text. A value of 0 will cause no feedback to displayed at all when the user is typing in the Entry.

Since:

4.0.13

public void setText(String text)

Replace the current contents of the Entry with the supplied text.

Since:

setVisibility

public void setVisibility(boolean setting)

Since:

4.0.12

setWidthChars

public void setWidthChars(int width)

Request that the width of this Entry be wide enough for a given number of characters.

As with all font related operations, there are a number of competing approximations involved. In particular, this method operates by influencing the size requested by this Widget; the box packing model will still have the final say in the size-allocation phase.

See also Label's setWidthChars(); the challenges and constraints involved are similar.

Parameters:

width - A setting of -1 will return the Entry to normal sizing behaviour.
