G'day,
I'm trying to format text as it is being entered into a text input
widget.
<chunk of code>
sprintf(formatted_line, "%c%c/%c", entry_text[0],
entry_text[1], entry_text[2]);
gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(v->entry),
"");
tmp_pos = GTK_ENTRY(v->entry)->text_length;
gtk_editable_insert_text(GTK_EDITABLE(v->entry),
formatted_line, -1, &tmp_pos);
gtk_editable_set_position(GTK_EDITABLE(v->entry), -1);
</chunk of code>
So if I was to enter:
1234
the widget should appear:
12/34
This code produces:
12/43
No matter what I do after
123
is entered
the screen is:
12/|3
with the insertion curser before the 3.
Now the API says:
gtk_editable_set_position(GTK_EDITABLE(v->entry), -1);
should position the curser at the end of the line.
Any hints, ideas, or suggestions (code snipets, examples url's or
references) greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ashley
