GTK+ 2.16 supports showing icons inside a GtkEntry, similar to SexyIconEntry. Porting from SexyIconEntry to GtkEntry is relatively straightforward. The main difference between the two APIs is that SexyIconEntry uses GtkImage widgets in a somewhat awkward way as storage vehicles for icons, while GtkEntry allows to specify icons via pixbufs, stock ids, icon names or GIcons. So, if your code uses e.g.:
| 1 2 | image = gtk_image_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_NEW, GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU); sexy_icon_entry_set_icon (entry, SEXY_ICON_ENTRY_PRIMARY, image); | 
    you can get rid of the image, and directly write:
| 1 | gtk_entry_set_icon_from_stock (entry, GTK_ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY, GTK_STOCK_NEW); | 
The signals SexyIconEntry::icon-pressed and SexyIconEntry::icon-released have been renamed to “icon-press” and “icon-release” to avoid problems due to signal name clashes. Also, the signature of the signals has changed from
| 1 2 3 | void (*icon_pressed) (SexyIconEntry *entry, SexyIconEntryPosition icon_pos, int button) | 
to
| 1 2 3 | void (*icon_press) (GtkEntry *entry, GtkEntryIconPosition icon_pos, GdkEventButton *event) | 
    The new signature has the advantage that the signal handler can use
    the timestamp of the event, e.g. for passing it to gtk_menu_popup().
    When adapting an existing signal handler to the new signature, you 
    should note that the button number is easily available as event->button,
    as shown in the following example:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | static void icon_pressed_cb (SexyIconEntry *entry, SexyIconEntryPosition position, int button, gpointer data) { GtkMenu *menu = data; if (position == SEXY_ICON_ENTRY_PRIMARY) gtk_menu_popup (GTK_MENU (menu), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, button, GDK_CURRENT_TIME); } | 
can be ported as:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | static void icon_press_cb (GtkEntry *entry, GtkEntryIconPosition position, GdkEventButton *event, gpointer data) { GtkMenu *menu = data; if (position == GTK_ENTRY_ICON_PRIMARY) gtk_menu_popup (GTK_MENU (menu), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, event->button, event->time); } | 
    Another difference is that SexyIconEntry offers manual control of
    the icon prelighting, via sexy_icon_entry_set_icon_highlight(). 
    GtkEntry prelights automatically when appropriate, depending on 
    whether the icon is activatable and sensitive. You should make
    sure that your icons are properly marked as activatable or nonactivatable
    and sensitive or insensitive:
    
Sensitive, but non-activatable icons are good for purely informational purposes.
Icons should be marked as insensitive if the function that they trigger is currently not available.
    GtkEntry has no direct equivalent of the special-purpose function
    sexy_icon_entry_add_clear_button(). If you need this functionality,
    the following code works:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 | static void icon_pressed_cb (GtkEntry *entry, gint position, GdkEventButton *event, gpointer data) { if (position == GTK_ENTRY_ICON_SECONDARY) gtk_entry_set_text (entry, ""); } static void text_changed_cb (GtkEntry *entry, GParamSpec *pspec, GtkWidget *button) { gboolean has_text; has_text = gtk_entry_get_text_length (entry) > 0; gtk_entry_set_icon_sensitive (entry, GTK_ENTRY_ICON_SECONDARY, has_text); } /* ... */ /* Set up the clear icon */ gtk_entry_set_icon_from_stock (GTK_ENTRY (entry), GTK_ENTRY_ICON_SECONDARY, GTK_STOCK_CLEAR); g_signal_connect (entry, "icon-press", G_CALLBACK (icon_pressed_cb), NULL); g_signal_connect (entry, "notify::text", G_CALLBACK (text_changed_cb), find_button); /* ... */ |
