Detailed Description

A text entry widget.

Hildon::Entry is a text entry. It is derived from Gtk::Entry and provides additional commodities specific to the Hildon framework.

Besides all the features inherited from Gtk::Entry, a Hildon::Entry can also have a placeholder text. This text will be shown if the entry is empty and doesn't have the input focus, but is otherwise ignored. Thus, calls to Hildon::Entry::get_text() will never return the placeholder text, not even when it's being displayed.

Although Hildon::Entry is derived from Gtk::Entry, Gtk::Entry::get_text() and Gtk::Entry::set_text() must never be used to get/set the text in this widget. Hildon::Entry::get_text() and Hildon::Entry::set_text() must be used instead.
