Hi,
I have a gtk.Entry in which I place a code followed by a description.
The user enters the code, and I do a keyed lookup and place the code
+ description of that code in the gtk.Entry and move focus to the next
gtk.Entry.
If the user made a mistake and wants to enter a different code in the
first gtk.Entry, I select the entire text of the gtk.Entry when I see
it grabbing focus so the user doesn't have to delete all the old text
that's in the gtk.Entry. His first key stroke will do that.
But there's a problem. If the code + description is too long, gtk
will move the cursor position to the end of the text when I select the
whole text, hiding the code that is in error. If I then move the
cursor to the beginning of the text, that will un-select the text.
So, is there a way to select the entire text of a gtk.Entry that's too
long to show all of it, and have gtk show the beginning of the text
rather than the end?
Doesn't a set_position(0) show the start of the text? Then do a
select_region(0, -1) to select the entire text.
While looking at the docs, I just noticed the set_cursor_hadjustment()
method [0] which might be of use. I never used it before though.
Cheers,
Timo
