GtkField becoming the interactive search field

[CsMAr51]

Hi everybody,

Is someone able to tell me how to make a normal GtkField becoming the
interactive search field for a GtkTreeView ?

Thanks.

I am not sure what you mean by GtkField, but if you want to set a search
column for a GtkTreeView, you can use GtkTreeView::set_search_column().
Take a look here:

When you hit a key on a GtkTreeView (or hit ctrl+f) it opens a field for
interactive search on the GtkTreeView. I've already used
GtkTreeView::set_search_column() to do that, but I want to use a
GtkField that I've created instead of the default one. Here is the
example of what I want: http://csmar51.dyndns.org/php-gtk/replace.png

I am still not sure where GtkField comes from. I think you mean
GtkEntry. Anyway, I think I know what you are asking.

I don't think there is a method to swap out the search widget with one
of your own. Christian's dev_inspector may help you find a way to pull
it out of the treeview's (grand-)children.

This is how I would do it:
First, turn off interactive search. Then check for changes in your
GtkEntry by connecting to one of the GtkEntry signals (probably
insert-at-cursor) and then search the model (GtkTreeModel::foreach())
from your GtkTreeView. When you find a value you can scroll to the cell
your are looking for (GtkTreeView::scroll_to_cell()).

Oupss, yes it was GtkEntry (I'm a bit tired :s).
It seems to be a solution to my problem, thanks for your answers !
