[pygtk] Programmatically invoking interactive searching in "Gtk.TreeView"

[Ajay Garg]

Hi all.

I have a piece of code on the lines ::

.........
self._treeview = Gtk.TreeView(self._store)
self._treeview.set_search_entry(self._entry)

self._treeview.set_search_equal_func(self._search, None)
self._treeview.set_search_column(0)
..........


where  "self._search" is defined as  ::

........
def _search(self, model, column, key, iterator,
data=None):

    value = model.get_value(iterator, column)
    if key.lower() in value.lower():
        return False
    return True
........


Now, when I INTERACTIVELY type a search-string in  the text-entry
"self._entry", the search works fine, and the searched row is scrolled-to.

So, my query is, is it possible to programmatically call the above
procedure, when the  "self._entry" is set with a text PROGRAMMATICALLY (on
the lines of "self._entry.set_text('ajay garg')"?
I guess there must be Gtk.Treeview callback attached to "self._entry",
which then internally calls  "self._search".

Are my assumptions true? If yes, please let me know the Gtk.Treeview
callback attached to "self._entry", so that I may call it programmatically
:)



Regards,
Ajay
