Re: Need control of filename entry area in gtkfilechooser

Thanks for the response. Do you know if I can create a custom keymap and set it from the code? If so, how do 
I do it? It is important for me to control it from the code.

When I type in the filename into the filename entry area in gtkfilechooser dialog, I want to intercept the 
text that is entered, modify it and then display it in the filename area. How do I do this?



For a regular text buffer, I know how to do this: I can do a gtk_text_view_get_buffer and then have a 
callback for insert-text. I can then modify the text that is entered and then insert it into the buffer, all 
from inside the callback.




I want to be able to achieve the same thing for filename entry. Does anyone know how to do this?


I don't think the GtkFileChooser API allows you to do this. However maybe you can connect to the "event" 
signal as the GtkFileChooser is a GtkWidget, and do some things from there.
