The gtk:entry-buffer object contains the actual text displayed in a gtk:entry widget. A single gtk:entry-buffer object can be shared by multiple gtk:entry widgets which will then share the same text content, but not the cursor position, visibility attributes, icon, and so on.

The gtk:entry-buffer class may be derived from. Such a derived class might allow text to be stored in an alternate location, such as non-pageable memory, useful in the case of important passwords. Or a derived class could integrate with an undo/redo concept of the application.

The "deleted-text" signal

lambda (buffer pos nchars)    :run-first      

buffer

The gtk:entry-buffer object.

pos

The integer with the position the text was deleted at.

nchars

The integer with the number of characters that were deleted.

The signal is emitted after text is deleted from the entry buffer.

The "inserted-text" signal

lambda (buffer pos chars nchars)    :run-first      

buffer

The gtk:entry-buffer object.

pos

The integer with the position the text was inserted at.

chars

The string with the text that was inserted.

nchars

The integer with the number of characters that were inserted.

The signal is emitted after text is inserted into the entry buffer.
