Re: some GtkEntry questions

[Mihai Bazon <mishoo websci ro>]

For the second question:

    gtk_window_set_focus(GTK_WINDOW(parent_win), widget_to_be_focused);

For the first -- I dunno, but I think it's better for your program to
let the cursor at it's position, that's why you made the selection, so
that user can type anything else than the automatically completed text.

However, I think the problem is that you move the cursor after you
select some region -- moving the cursor clears the selection.

Some barbarian example of a GtkEntry usage at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gmrun -- my project, it's a
"run-program" utility featuring completion.

Cheers,
Mishoo
