+----GtkEntryCompletionDetailed Description
GtkEntryCompletion is an auxiliary object to be used in conjunction with
GtkEntry to provide the completion functionality. It implements the
GtkCellLayout interface, to allow the user to add extra cells to the
GtkTreeView with completion matches.
"Completion functionality" means that when the user modifies the text
in the entry, GtkEntryCompletion checks which rows in the model match
the current content of the entry, and displays a list of matches.
By default, the matching is done by comparing the entry text
case-insensitively against the text column of the model (see
gtkEntryCompletionSetTextColumn), but this can be overridden with
a custom match function (see gtkEntryCompletionSetMatchFunc).
When the user selects a completion, the content of the entry is updated.
By default, the content of the entry is replaced by the text column of the
model, but this can be overridden by connecting to the ::match-selected signal
and updating the entry in the signal handler. Note that you should return
TRUE from the signal handler to suppress the default behaviour.
To add completion functionality to an entry, use gtkEntrySetCompletion.
In addition to regular completion matches, which will be inserted into the
entry when they are selected, GtkEntryCompletion also allows to display
"actions" in the popup window. Their appearance is similar to menuitems,
to differentiate them clearly from completion strings. When an action is
selected, the ::action-activated signal is emitted.
