Description

MxEntry is a widget for displaying and editing a single line of text. It derives from MxWidget to add extra style and placement functionality over ClutterText. The internal ClutterText is publicly accessibly to allow applications to set further properties.

MxEntry supports the following pseudo style states:

  • focus: the widget has focus

  • indeterminate: the widget is showing the hint text
