[pygtk] gtk.Entry confusion

[Andrea Caminiti]

thanks for the answer seth. i think i found a work around.

entry.connect("changed", self.callback, entry, type)

i don't know if it's the best way to do it, but at least it does the job. so right now i'm printing the dictionary (in the shell) with the callback. and it seem to change dictionary's value on real time as typed.

Are you saying you have a bunch of entries, and need to read the text of all of them in response to an event?  If so, you could use a set of entries and just iterate through them, like:

for entries in entry_set:
  dict[key] = entries.get_text()

Or you could try a dict of entries, iterate through the keys (which would be the entries) and store the text in the values, something like:

for entries in entry_dict.keys():
  entry_dict[entries] = entries.get_text()

hi:

i was trying to figure how to read text from the entry widget. but i need to read them all "at the same time" and store the value of each different entry in a dictionary. this action need to be performed or when the text is inserted or clicking on a button. any suggestions?

i know that gtk.Entry has an "activate" signal, but it uses the "enter" as a signal. is there any way to modify the value of the signal to use?

thanks for your help and support.
