I am using GtkComboBoxText sine many years for my schematics editor for
entering grid size, have predefined sizes 100, 50, 25 10 and allow
entering arbitrary sizes, which can be also added to that list. Works
fine in Ruby, so I assume that it will work fine everywhere. (
http://ssalewski.de/PetEd.html.en) Entry completion working for zero
characters -- I have some difficulty understanding it. When there is
zero input, there is not much to complete. May be useful, maybe you have
to talk to developers and explain your use case.

it means, typically, "show me all possible completions". Useful in
cases where there are not that many options.

Maybe you want a

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkComboBox.html
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkComboBoxText.html

with active entry widget (has-entry = TRUE) ?

So you can select from a list of text or enter own text.

I had issues with GtkComboBoxText last time I tried it, though admittedly
that was a long time back. Anyway, yes I'm aware of these widgets, and use
GtkComboBox regularly. I'll look into GtkComboBoxText again. But the
question remains - is there a way to trigger the completion's popup?

Trigger a GtkEntryCompletion's popup

2015-10-07 Thread Daniel Kasak 
Hi all. I have some GtkEntry widgets with a GtkEntryCompletion attached.
I've set the minimum key length to 0, hoping this would make the
completion's popup appear on focus in, but it doesn't. I have noticed that
if I type something, then hit backspace, the popup appears. So I guess I
can hook up some code on focus-in to simulate this - ie insert some text
and delete it. Is there a cleaner way of doing it?

Thanks.

Dan
