GtkSearchEntry

GtkSearchEntry — An entry which shows a search icon

Synopsis

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

struct              GtkSearchEntry;
GtkWidget *         gtk_search_entry_new                (void);

Description

GtkSearchEntry is a subclass of GtkEntry that has been tailored for use as a search entry.

It will show an inactive symbolic "find" icon when the search entry is empty, and a symbolic "clear" icon when there is text. Clicking on the "clear" icon will empty the search entry.

Note that the search/clear icon is shown using a secondary icon, and thus does not work if you are using the secondary icon position for some other purpose.
