RE: Gtk::entry() - Jump

[Arbol One <arbolone gmail com>]

humm, that means that I have to wait for the user to enter -all- the
characters and then check for its validity... no... I don't think so. An
option would be to read each character entered, at the moment it is entered,
and have the cursor jump to the next box as soon as the user has entered the
required number of characters. But this is a common behaviour in
input-boxes, I am sure that GTKmm has already devised a method to achieve
this.

Hi,

in this case, I would build a list of entries and check the length of the
strings manually. When the a character is being inserted, I would call
grab_focus() on the next entry in the list and _not_ propagate the signal so
that the character is not inserted.
