13 * An entry is a convenience widget which shows a box that the user can
14 * enter text into. Entries by default don't scroll, so they grow to
15 * accommodate the entire text, resizing the parent window as needed. This
16 * can be changed with the elm_entry_scrollable_set() function.
18 * They can also be single line or multi line (the default) and when set
19 * to multi line mode they support text wrapping in any of the modes
20 * indicated by #Elm_Wrap_Type.
22 * Other features include password mode, filtering of inserted text with
23 * elm_entry_markup_filter_append() and related functions, inline "items" and
24 * formatted markup text.
26 * @section entry-markup Formatted text
28 * The markup tags supported by the Entry are defined by the theme, but
29 * even when writing new themes or extensions it's a good idea to stick to
30 * a sane default, to maintain coherency and avoid application breakages.
31 * Currently defined by the default theme are the following tags:
32 * @li \<br\>: Inserts a line break.
33 * @li \<ps\>: Inserts a paragraph separator. This is preferred over line
35 * @li \<tab\>: Inserts a tab.
36 * @li \<em\>...\</em\>: Emphasis. Sets the @em oblique style for the
38 * @li \<b\>...\</b\>: Sets the @b bold style for the enclosed text.
39 * @li \<link\>...\</link\>: Underlines the enclosed text.
40 * @li \<hilight\>...\</hilight\>: Highlights the enclosed text.
42 * @section entry-special Special markups
44 * Besides those used to format text, entries support two special markup
45 * tags used to insert click-able portions of text or items inlined within
48 * @subsection entry-anchors Anchors
50 * Anchors are similar to HTML anchors. Text can be surrounded by \<a\> and
51 * \</a\> tags and an event will be generated when this text is clicked,
55 * This text is outside <a href=anc-01>but this one is an anchor</a>
58 * The @c href attribute in the opening tag gives the name that will be
59 * used to identify the anchor and it can be any valid utf8 string.
61 * When an anchor is clicked, an @c "anchor,clicked" signal is emitted with
62 * an #Elm_Entry_Anchor_Info in the @c event_info parameter for the
63 * callback function. The same applies for "anchor,in" (mouse in), "anchor,out"
64 * (mouse out), "anchor,down" (mouse down), and "anchor,up" (mouse up) events on
67 * @subsection entry-items Items
69 * Inlined in the text, any other @c Evas_Object can be inserted by using
70 * \<item\> tags this way:
73 * <item size=16x16 vsize=full href=emoticon/haha></item>
76 * Just like with anchors, the @c href identifies each item, but these need,
77 * in addition, to indicate their size, which is done using any one of
78 * @c size, @c absize or @c relsize attributes. These attributes take their
79 * value in the WxH format, where W is the width and H the height of the
82 * @li absize: Absolute pixel size for the item. Whatever value is set will
83 * be the item's size regardless of any scale value the object may have
84 * been set to. The final line height will be adjusted to fit larger items.
85 * @li size: Similar to @c absize, but it's adjusted to the scale value set
87 * @li relsize: Size is adjusted for the item to fit within the current
90 * Besides their size, items are specified a @c vsize value that affects
91 * how their final size and position are calculated. The possible values
93 * @li ascent: Item will be placed within the line's baseline and its
94 * ascent. That is, the height between the line where all characters are
95 * positioned and the highest point in the line. For @c size and @c absize
96 * items, the descent value will be added to the total line height to make
97 * them fit. @c relsize items will be adjusted to fit within this space.
98 * @li full: Items will be placed between the descent and ascent, or the
99 * lowest point in the line and its highest.
101 * The next image shows different configurations of items and how
102 * the previously mentioned options affect their sizes. In all cases,
103 * the green line indicates the ascent, blue for the baseline and red for
106 * @image html entry_item.png
107 * @image latex entry_item.eps width=\textwidth
109 * And another one to show how size differs from absize. In the first one,
110 * the scale value is set to 1.0, while the second one is using one of 2.0.
112 * @image html entry_item_scale.png
113 * @image latex entry_item_scale.eps width=\textwidth
115 * After the size for an item is calculated, the entry will request an
116 * object to place in its space. For this, the functions set with
117 * elm_entry_item_provider_append() and related functions will be called
118 * in order until one of them returns a @c non-NULL value. If no providers
119 * are available, or all of them return @c NULL, then the entry falls back
120 * to one of the internal defaults, provided the name matches with one of
123 * All of the following are currently supported:
126 * - emoticon/angry-shout
127 * - emoticon/crazy-laugh
128 * - emoticon/evil-laugh
130 * - emoticon/goggle-smile
132 * - emoticon/grumpy-smile
134 * - emoticon/guilty-smile
136 * - emoticon/half-smile

154 * - emoticon/surprised
155 * - emoticon/suspicious
156 * - emoticon/tongue-dangling
157 * - emoticon/tongue-poke
160 * - emoticon/very-sorry
166 * Alternatively, an item may reference an image by its path, using
167 * the URI form @c file:///path/to/an/image.png and the entry will then
168 * use that image for the item.
170 * @section entry-files Loading and saving files
172 * Entries have convenience functions to load text from a file and save
173 * changes back to it after a short delay. The automatic saving is enabled
174 * by default, but can be disabled with elm_entry_autosave_set() and files
175 * can be loaded directly as plain text or have any markup in them
176 * recognized. See elm_entry_file_set() for more details.
178 * @section entry-signals Emitted signals
180 * This widget emits the following signals:
182 * @li "changed": The text within the entry was changed.

1378 * Filter inserted text based on accepted or rejected sets of characters
1380 * Add this filter to an entry to restrict the set of accepted characters
1381 * based on the sets in the provided #Elm_Entry_Filter_Accept_Set.
1382 * This structure contains both accepted and rejected sets, but they are
1383 * mutually exclusive.
1385 * The @c accepted set takes preference, so if it is set, the filter will
1386 * only work based on the accepted characters, ignoring anything in the
1387 * @c rejected value. If @c accepted is @c NULL, then @c rejected is used.
1389 * In both cases, the function filters by matching utf8 characters to the
1390 * raw markup text, so it can be used to remove formatting tags.
1392 * This filter, like any others, does not apply when setting the entry text
1393 * directly with elm_object_text_set()
