Detailed Description

An entry is a convenience widget which shows a box that the user can enter text into. Entries by default don't scroll, so they grow to accommodate the entire text, resizing the parent window as needed. This can be changed with the elm_entry_scrollable_set() function.

They can also be single line or multi line (the default) and when set to multi line mode they support text wrapping in any of the modes indicated by Elm_Wrap_Type.

Other features include password mode, filtering of inserted text with elm_entry_markup_filter_append() and related functions, inline "items" and formatted markup text.

This widget inherits from the Layout one, so that all the functions acting on it also work for entry objects (since 1.8).

This widget implements the The Elementary Scrollable Interface interface, so that all (non-deprecated) functions for the base Elm_Scroller widget also work for entries (since 1.8).

Some calls on the entry's API are marked as deprecated, as they just wrap the scrollable widgets counterpart functions. Use the ones we point you to, for each case of deprecation here, instead – eventually the deprecated ones will be discarded (next major release).

Formatted text

The markup tags supported by the Entry are defined by the theme, but even when writing new themes or extensions it's a good idea to stick to a sane default, to maintain coherency and avoid application breakages. Currently defined by the default theme are the following tags:

: Inserts a line break.
<ps>: Inserts a paragraph separator. This is preferred over line breaks.
<tab>: Inserts a tab.
...: Emphasis. Sets the oblique style for the enclosed text.
...: Sets the bold style for the enclosed text.
<link>...</link>: Underlines the enclosed text.
<hilight>...</hilight>: Highlights the enclosed text.
<title>...</title>: Main title.
<subtitle>...</subtitle>: Secondary level title.
<bigger>...</bigger>: A really big text, not so big as the titles.
<big>...</big>: Big text.
...: Small text.
<smaller>...</smaller>: Really small text, at the point of unreadability.

Entry also support tags for code syntax highlight. Note that this does not mean that the entry will automatically perform code highlight, application are responsable of applying the correct tag to code blocks. The default theme define the following tags:

<code>...</code>: Monospace font without shadows.
<comment>...</comment>: Code comments.
<string>...</string>: Strings of text.
<number>...</number>: Numeric expression (ex: 1, 2, 0.34, etc)
<brace>...</brace>: Braces used for code syntax.
<type>...</type>: Variables types (ex: int, float, char, Evas_Object, etc)
<class>...</class>: Class names, when defined, not when used.
<function>...</function>: Function names, when defined, not called.
<param>...</param>: Generic parameters.
<keyword>...</keyword>: Language keywords (ex: return, NULL, while, for, etc)
<preprocessor>...</preprocessor>: Preprocessors definitions.
<line_added>...</line_added>: Diff added lines.
<line_removed>...</line_removed>: Diff removed lines.
<line_changed>...</line_changed>: Diff changed lines.

Special markups

Besides those used to format text, entries support two special markup tags used to insert click-able portions of text or items inlined within the text.

Anchors

Anchors are similar to HTML anchors. Text can be surrounded by <a> and </a> tags and an event will be generated when this text is clicked, like this:

This text is outside <a href=anc-01>but this one is an anchor</a>

The href attribute in the opening tag gives the name that will be used to identify the anchor and it can be any valid utf8 string.

When an anchor is clicked, an "anchor,clicked" signal is emitted with an Elm_Entry_Anchor_Info in the event_info parameter for the callback function. The same applies for "anchor,in" (mouse in), "anchor,out" (mouse out), "anchor,down" (mouse down), and "anchor,up" (mouse up) events on an anchor.

Items

Inlined in the text, any other Evas_Object can be inserted by using <item> tags this way:

Just like with anchors, the href identifies each item, but these need, in addition, to indicate their size, which is done using any one of size, absize or relsize attributes. These attributes take their value in the WxH format, where W is the width and H the height of the item.

absize: Absolute pixel size for the item. Whatever value is set will be the item's size regardless of any scale value the object may have been set to. The final line height will be adjusted to fit larger items.
size: Similar to absize, but it's adjusted to the scale value set for the object.
relsize: Size is adjusted for the item to fit within the current line height.

Besides their size, items are specified a vsize value that affects how their final size and position are calculated. The possible values are:

ascent: Item will be placed within the line's baseline and its ascent. That is, the height between the line where all characters are positioned and the highest point in the line. For size and absize items, the descent value will be added to the total line height to make them fit. relsize items will be adjusted to fit within this space.
full: Items will be placed between the descent and ascent, or the lowest point in the line and its highest.

The next image shows different configurations of items and how the previously mentioned options affect their sizes. In all cases, the green line indicates the ascent, blue for the baseline and red for the descent.

And another one to show how size differs from absize. In the first one, the scale value is set to 1.0, while the second one is using one of 2.0.

After the size for an item is calculated, the entry will request an object to place in its space. For this, the functions set with elm_entry_item_provider_append() and related functions will be called in order until one of them returns a non-NULL value. If no providers are available, or all of them return NULL, then the entry falls back to one of the internal defaults, provided the name matches with one of them.

All of the following are currently supported:

emoticon/angry-shout
emoticon/crazy-laugh
emoticon/evil-laugh
emoticon/evil
emoticon/goggle-smile
emoticon/grumpy
emoticon/grumpy-smile
emoticon/guilty
emoticon/guilty-smile
emoticon/haha

emoticon/little-bit-sorry
emoticon/love-lots

emoticon/surprised
emoticon/suspicious
emoticon/tongue-dangling
emoticon/tongue-poke
emoticon/uh
emoticon/unhappy
emoticon/very-sorry
emoticon/what
emoticon/wink
emoticon/worried
emoticon/wtf

Alternatively, an item may reference an image by its path, using the URI form file:///path/to/an/image.png and the entry will then use that image for the item.

Setting entry's style

There are 2 major ways to change the entry's style:

Theme - set the "base" field to the desired style.
User style - Pushing overrides to the theme style to the textblock object by using evas_object_textblock_style_user_push().

You should modify the theme when you would like to change the style for aesthetic reasons. While the user style should be changed when you would like to change the style to something specific defined at run-time, e.g, setting font or font size in a text editor.

Loading and saving files

Entries have convenience functions to load text from a file and save changes back to it after a short delay. The automatic saving is enabled by default, but can be disabled with elm_entry_autosave_set() and files can be loaded directly as plain text or have any markup in them recognized. See elm_entry_file_set() for more details.

◆ elm_entry_markup_to_utf8()

char * elm_entry_markup_to_utf8 ( const char * s )

This converts a markup (HTML-like) string into UTF-8.

The returned string is a malloc'ed buffer and it should be freed when not needed anymore.

Parameters

s	The string (in markup) to be converted

Returns: The converted string (in UTF-8). It should be freed.

Referenced by elm_entry_filter_accept_set(), and elm_entry_filter_limit_size().

◆ elm_entry_utf8_to_markup()

char * elm_entry_utf8_to_markup ( const char * s )

This converts a UTF-8 string into markup (HTML-like).

The returned string is a malloc'ed buffer and it should be freed when not needed anymore.

Parameters

s	The string (in UTF-8) to be converted

Returns: The converted string (in markup). It should be freed.

For example, passing "<align=center>hello</align>>" will return "<align=center>hello</align> &gt;". This is useful when you want to display "&" in label, entry, and some widgets which use textblock internally.

◆ elm_entry_filter_limit_size()

void elm_entry_filter_limit_size	(	void *	data,
		Evas_Object *	entry,
		char **	text
	)

Filter inserted text based on user defined character and byte limits.

Add this filter to an entry to limit the characters that it will accept based the contents of the provided Elm_Entry_Filter_Limit_Size. The function works on the UTF-8 representation of the string, converting it from the set markup, thus not accounting for any format in it.

Parameters

[in]	data	The data passed to this function.
[in]	entry	The object.
[in,out]	text	The entry's text to limit size

The user must create an Elm_Entry_Filter_Limit_Size structure and pass it as data when setting the filter. In it, it's possible to set limits by character count or bytes (any of them is disabled if 0), and both can be set at the same time. In that case, it first checks for characters, then bytes. The Elm_Entry_Filter_Limit_Size structure must be alive and valid for as long as the entry is alive AND the elm_entry_filter_limit_size filter is set.

The function will cut the inserted text in order to allow only the first number of characters that are still allowed. The cut is made in characters, even when limiting by bytes, in order to always contain valid ones and avoid half unicode characters making it in.

This filter, like any others, does not apply when setting the entry text directly with elm_object_text_set().

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN, ELM_ENTRY_EVENT_MAXLENGTH_REACHED, elm_entry_markup_to_utf8(), and evas_string_char_len_get().

◆ elm_entry_filter_accept_set()

void elm_entry_filter_accept_set	(	void *	data,
		Evas_Object *	entry,
		char **	text
	)

Filter inserted text based on accepted or rejected sets of characters.

Add this filter to an entry to restrict the set of accepted characters based on the sets in the provided Elm_Entry_Filter_Accept_Set. This structure contains both accepted and rejected sets, but they are mutually exclusive. This structure must be available for as long as the entry is alive AND the elm_entry_filter_accept_set is being used.

Parameters

[in]	data	The data passed to this function.
[in]	entry	The object.
[in,out]	text	The entry's text to accept or reject filter

The accepted set takes preference, so if it is set, the filter will only work based on the accepted characters, ignoring anything in the rejected value. If accepted is NULL, then rejected is used.

In both cases, the function filters by matching utf8 characters to the raw markup text, so it can be used to remove formatting tags.

This filter, like any others, does not apply when setting the entry text directly with elm_object_text_set()

◆ elm_obj_entry_textblock_get()

EOAPI Efl_Canvas_Object * elm_obj_entry_textblock_get ( const Eo * obj )

Returns the actual textblock object of the entry.

This function exposes the internal textblock object that actually contains and draws the text. This should be used for low-level manipulations that are otherwise not possible.

Changing the textblock directly from here will not notify edje/elm to recalculate the textblock size automatically, so any modifications done to the textblock returned by this function should be followed by a call to elm_entry_calc_force.

The return value is marked as const as an additional warning. One should not use the returned object with any of the generic evas functions (geometry_get/resize/move and etc), but only with the textblock functions; The former will either not work at all, or break the correct functionality.

IMPORTANT: Many functions may change (i.e delete and create a new one) the internal textblock object. Do NOT cache the returned object, and try not to mix calls on this object with regular elm_entry calls (which may change the internal textblock object). This applies to all cursors returned from textblock calls, and all the other derivative values.

Parameters

[in] obj The object.

Returns: Textblock object

◆ elm_entry_textblock_get()

Efl_Canvas_Object * elm_entry_textblock_get ( const Elm_Entry * obj )

Returns the actual textblock object of the entry.

This function exposes the internal textblock object that actually contains and draws the text. This should be used for low-level manipulations that are otherwise not possible.

Changing the textblock directly from here will not notify edje/elm to recalculate the textblock size automatically, so any modifications done to the textblock returned by this function should be followed by a call to elm_entry_calc_force.

The return value is marked as const as an additional warning. One should not use the returned object with any of the generic evas functions (geometry_get/resize/move and etc), but only with the textblock functions; The former will either not work at all, or break the correct functionality.

IMPORTANT: Many functions may change (i.e delete and create a new one) the internal textblock object. Do NOT cache the returned object, and try not to mix calls on this object with regular elm_entry calls (which may change the internal textblock object). This applies to all cursors returned from textblock calls, and all the other derivative values.

Parameters

[in] obj The object.

Returns: Textblock object

References elm_obj_entry_textblock_get().

		const char *	key,
		const char *	value
	)

Sets the prediction hint data at the specified key.

Parameters

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	key	The key of the prediction hint.
[in]	value	The data to replace.

Returns: true on success, false otherwise

◆ elm_entry_prediction_hint_hash_del()

Eina_Bool elm_entry_prediction_hint_hash_del	(	Elm_Entry *	obj,
		const char *	key
	)

Removes the prediction hint data identified by a key.

Parameters

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	key	The key of the prediction hint.

Returns: true on success, false otherwise

◆ elm_entry_add()

Evas_Object * elm_entry_add ( Evas_Object * parent )

This adds an entry to parent object.

By default, entries are:

not scrolled
multi-line
word wrapped
autosave is enabled

Parameters

parent The parent object

Returns: The new object or NULL if it cannot be created

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN_VAL.

◆ elm_entry_entry_set()

void elm_entry_entry_set	(	Evas_Object *	obj,
		const char *	entry
	)

This sets the text displayed within the entry to entry.

Parameters

obj	The entry object
entry	The text to be displayed

Note: Using this function bypasses text filters

◆ elm_entry_entry_get()

const char * elm_entry_entry_get ( const Evas_Object * obj )

This returns the text currently shown in object entry.

◆ elm_entry_file_set()

Eina_Bool elm_entry_file_set	(	Evas_Object *	obj,
		const char *	file,
		Elm_Text_Format	format
	)

This sets the file (and implicitly loads it) for the text to display and then edit.

All changes are written back to the file after a short delay if the entry object is set to autosave (which is the default).

If the entry had any other file set previously, any changes made to it will be saved if the autosave feature is enabled, otherwise, the file will be silently discarded and any non-saved changes will be lost.

Returns: EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise

Parameters

[in]	obj	The entry object
[in]	file	The path to the file to load and save
[in]	format	The file format

◆ elm_entry_file_get()

void elm_entry_file_get	(	const Evas_Object *	obj,
		const char **	file,
		Elm_Text_Format *	format
	)

Get the file being edited by the entry.

This function can be used to retrieve any file set on the entry for edition, along with the format used to load and save it.

Parameters

[in]	obj	The entry object
[out]	file	The path to the file to load and save
[out]	format	The file format

◆ elm_entry_calc_force()

void elm_entry_calc_force ( Evas_Object * obj )

Forces calculation of the entry size and text layouting.

This should be used after modifying the textblock object directly. See elm_entry_textblock_get for more information.

Parameters

[in] obj The object.
