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.

source

fn bytes(&self) -> usize

Retrieves the length in bytes of the buffer.

See EntryBufferExtManual::length().

Returns

The byte length of the buffer.

source

fn length(&self) -> u16

Retrieves the length in characters of the buffer.

Returns

The number of characters in the buffer.

source

fn max_length(&self) -> Option<u16>

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.

source

fn text(&self) -> GString

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: impl IntoGStr) -> 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.

source

fn set_max_length(&self, max_length: Option<u16>)

source

fn set_text(&self, chars: impl IntoGStr)
