Trait containing manually implemented methods of EntryBuffer.

Required Methods§

source

fn delete_text(&self, position: u16, n_chars: Option<u16>) -> u16

Deletes a sequence of characters from the buffer.

@n_chars characters are deleted starting at @position. If @n_chars is negative, then all characters until the end of the text are deleted.

If @position or @n_chars are out of bounds, then they are coerced to sane values.

Note that the positions are specified in characters, not bytes.

position

position at which to delete text

n_chars

number of characters to delete

Returns

The number of characters deleted.

Retrieves the length in bytes of the buffer.

See EntryBufferExtManual::length().

Returns

The byte length of the buffer.

Retrieves the length in characters of the buffer.

Returns

The number of characters in the buffer.

Retrieves the maximum allowed length of the text in @self.

Returns

the maximum allowed number of characters in EntryBuffer, or 0 if there is no maximum.

Retrieves the contents of the buffer.

The memory pointer returned by this call will not change unless this object emits a signal, or is finalized.

Returns

a pointer to the contents of the widget as a string. This string points to internally allocated storage in the buffer and must not be freed, modified or stored.

source

fn insert_text(&self, position: u16, chars: &str) -> u16

Inserts @n_chars characters of @chars into the contents of the buffer, at position @position.

If @n_chars is negative, then characters from chars will be inserted until a null-terminator is found. If @position or @n_chars are out of bounds, or the maximum buffer text length is exceeded, then they are coerced to sane values.

Note that the position and length are in characters, not in bytes.

position

the position at which to insert text.

chars

the text to insert into the buffer.

n_chars

the length of the text in characters, or -1

Returns

The number of characters actually inserted.

Sets the maximum allowed length of the contents of the buffer.

If the current contents are longer than the given length, then they will be truncated to fit.

max_length

the maximum length of the entry buffer, or 0 for no maximum. (other than the maximum length of entries.) The value passed in will be clamped to the range 0-65536.

source

fn set_text(&self, chars: &str)

Sets the text in the buffer.

This is roughly equivalent to calling EntryBufferExtManual::delete_text() and EntryBufferExtManual::insert_text().

Note that @n_chars is in characters, not in bytes.

chars

the new text

n_chars

the number of characters in @text, or -1
