[14:7] extends: object
Completes partial file and directory names given a partial string by looking in the file system for clues. Can return a list of possible completion strings for widget implementations.
FilenameCompleter ()
Creates a new filename completer.
toNativeHandle (Source)
Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from
fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposinghandle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.getLib ()
Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
The opened native library.handle ()
Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
The wrapped NativeHandle.isNull ()
Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
A bool.describe ()
Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
A string.asObject ()
Wraps this handle as
Object.
A Object object.connectSignal (string Name, CallbackObj)
Connects one generated callback wrapper to a named signal.
Name is the signal name.CallbackObj is the generated callback wrapper to connect.The connected handler id.disconnectSignalHandler (int HandlerId)
Disconnects one retained signal handler id.
HandlerId is the signal handler id to disconnect.None.setOnGotcompletiondata (callback Fn, UserData = null)
Emitted when the file name completion information comes available.
Fn is the Aussom callback.Fn is called with (FilenameCompleter Self).UserData is retained and passed through to the generated callback wrapper when provided.The connected handler id.get_completion_suffix (string initial_text)
Obtains a suffix completion for @initial_text from @completer. Suffix will be an empty string if there's no shared suffix among matching completions. If there's no matching completions anyway,
NULLis returned.
initial_text is text to be completed..get_completions (string initial_text)
Gets an array of completion strings for a given initial text.
initial_text is text to be completed..set_dirs_only (bool dirs_only)
If @dirs_only is %TRUE, @completer will only complete directory names, and not file names. This function needs to be called before waiting for results from the completer to be populated.
dirs_only is a #gboolean..None.[188:7] extends: object
Generated low-level callback wrapper for GIR callback got-completion-data.
FilenameCompleterGotcompletiondataCallback (callback Fn, UserData = null)
Creates one native callback wrapper. The wrapper owns a trampoline that converts native pointers into generated wrapper objects before invoking
Fn.
Fn is the Aussom callback implementation.UserData is retained and passed through to Fn on each invocation when provided.trampoline (nativeSelf, nativeUserData)
Internal trampoline. Converts native pointer arguments into generated wrapper instances, then invokes the user's callback.
callback ()
Returns the wrapped NativeCallback.
handle ()
Returns the callback as a NativeHandle.
close ()
Closes the underlying NativeCallback.
isClosed ()
Returns true when the callback has been closed.
[258:14] static extends: object
Generated metadata helpers for FilenameCompleter class surfaces.
signals ()
Returns signal metadata for
FilenameCompleter.
A list.
