I am trying to format a field of type entry of gtk that I am using for the dates entry and wanted to add the character / in certain positions confirm the user will typing ..
And the only thing missing is to position the mouse cursor to the last position of the string when I add the / character. I tried to use the set_position() method but apparently did not work.
I went through the same problem, and I used the following:
campo.set_position(-1)
To facilitate I made an example, where the text cursor will always go to the end.
from gi.repository import Gtk, GObject
class Window(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
self.entry = Gtk.Entry()
self.entry.connect('changed', self.set_cursor)
Gtk.Window.__init__(self)
self.add(self.entry)
self.show_all()
self.connect('delete-event', Gtk.main_quit)
def set_cursor(self, widget):
widget.handler_block_by_func(self.set_cursor) # bloqueia o sinal da entry
GObject.idle_add(self.entry.set_position, -1) # cursor do texto no final do campo
widget.handler_unblock_by_func(self.set_cursor) # desbloqueia o sinal da entry
Window()
Gtk.main()
