Re: Pango::Layout text within Gtk::Entry

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the fast reply,

What you suggest is actually what I am doing. I have derived my own 
class from Gtk::Entry and implemented the on_grab_focus() method.
What I want to do is, poping up a dialog box, whenever the user clicks 
on Entry field. This dialog box will supply min,max,default values for 
the user and let him/her
choose one of the three value or enter a valid one within the limits.

Your solution, which I have tried before hand, works but in a strange 
way. When you first click the Entry and set a value, markup doesnt work 
but whenever you try it second time it works. I guess this ambiguity is 
due on_grab_focus() method. If it is, can you suggest me another way to 
handle the on_click event within the Entry. Below is a more detailed 
snap of my code .

void ventry::on_grab_focus(void){
   switch(this->ve_type){
       case VE_INTEGER:
           this->input_verify=new integer_iv(this->copy_instance);
           id=this->input_verify->run();
           
if(id==Gtk::RESPONSE_OK)this->set_text(this->input_verify->get_val());
           markup+="<i>";
           markup+=this->get_text();
           markup+="</i>";
           this->get_layout()->set_markup(markup);
           delete this->input_verify;
           break;
       case VE_FLOAT:

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
