[Glade-users] Text Entry Box

[Michael_Fasolino at raytheon.com (Michael Fasolino)]

Tristan,

I should have mentioned this in my original email, but I am using gtkmm. 
My text entry box is of class Gtk::Entry.  The compiler that I am using 
(MSVS 2005) gives me an error when I try to use the 
get_editable_set_position() fn since it can't "convert parameter 1 from 
Gtk::Entry *' to 'GtkEditable *'".

I can't find a member function similar to get_editable_set_position() that 
belongs to the Gtk::Entry class.  Is there a way to type cast the 
GtK::Entry into a GtkEditable type?  Or do you know of a similar function 
that will operate on a Gtk::Entry type? 

Sorry for my confusion, I am pretty new to GTK and Glade.  Thanks for your 
help!


Michael

You can set the cursor position to the end using this function:
