19 * @short_description: Text entry in the Hildon framework.
21 * The #HildonEntry is text entry derived from the #GtkEntry widget providing
22 * additional commodities specific to the Hildon framework.
24 * Besides all the features inherited from #GtkEntry, a #HildonEntry
25 * can also have a placeholder text. This text will be shown if the
26 * entry is empty and doesn't have the input focus, but it's otherwise
27 * ignored. Thus, calls to hildon_entry_get_text() will never return
28 * the placeholder text, not even when it's being displayed.
30 * Although #HildonEntry is derived from #GtkEntry,
31 * gtk_entry_get_text() and gtk_entry_set_text() must never be used to
32 * get/set the text in this widget. hildon_entry_get_text() and
33 * hildon_entry_set_text() must be used instead.
36 * <title>Creating a HildonEntry with a placeholder</title>
43 * entry = hildon_entry_new (HILDON_SIZE_AUTO);
44 * hildon_entry_set_placeholder (HILDON_ENTRY (entry), "First name");
