I need to implement a modified form of an
EntryCompletion,
where the user would input data into the GtkEntry, and
the
program would auto-complete the text inside of the
GtkEntry
box, without opening the popup list of all possible
matches
(it would default to the first match of the list). The problem
is
that the "powers that be" would like the text that is
automatically
inserted into the GtkEntry box to be either in a different
color
in reverse, so that the user can tell what he.she has
typed
so far.
For example, if the user was filling out a field for
States,
when they typed a 'N' the Entry box would look
like
NORTH CAROLINA
with the 'N' in one color and the ORTH
CAROLINA in another
color (or in reverse). Then when they
next typed an 'E' the
entry box would change to
NEBRASKA
with the NE in one color, the BRASKA in
another....
Is there a way to both insert text into a GtkEntry box
and
somehow change its color, or font, using Pango. I
thought
about maybe pretending I had selected the additional
text
to get it highlighted, but I'm not sure how to go about
it.
Help!
