[Gtk-sharp-list] Gtk entry autocomplete

[Sergio Rubio]

Thanks Freon, but I have finally found it. It seems that the better
aproach is to use Gtk.Widget.OnKeyPressEvent instead of any of the Entry
event handlers I was using before. They were driving me crazy. Here is
the code snippet of my CompletionEntry widget:

protected override bool OnKeyPressEvent (Gdk.EventKey evt)
{
            base.OnKeyPressEvent (evt);
            if ((evt.Key == Gdk.Key.BackSpace) || 
		(evt.Key == Gdk.Key.Escape))
                return false;
            DeleteSelection ();
            //Fake speed
            if (Text.Length > 2)
            {
                string bin = AutoComplete (Text);
                if (bin != null)
                {
                    int oldLength = Text.Length;
                    Text = bin;
                    SelectRegion (oldLength, Text.Length);
                }
            }
            return true;
        }
}

Anyway, thanks again.
