StringFilter

gtk.string_filter.StringFilter determines whether to include items by comparing strings to a fixed search term.

The strings are obtained from the items by evaluating a gtk.expression.Expression set with gtk.string_filter.StringFilter.setExpression, and they are compared against a search term set with gtk.string_filter.StringFilter.setSearch.

gtk.string_filter.StringFilter has several different modes of comparison - it can match the whole string, just a prefix, or any substring. Use gtk.string_filter.StringFilter.setMatchMode choose a mode.

It is also possible to make case-insensitive comparisons, with gtk.string_filter.StringFilter.setIgnoreCase.

class StringFilter : Filter {

Constructors

this this(gtk.expression.Expression expression): Creates a new string filter.

getExpression gtk.expression.Expression getExpression(): Gets the expression that the string filter uses to obtain strings from items.
getIgnoreCase bool getIgnoreCase(): Returns whether the filter ignores case differences.
getMatchMode gtk.types.StringFilterMatchMode getMatchMode(): Returns the match mode that the filter is using.
getSearch string getSearch(): Gets the search term.
setExpression void setExpression(gtk.expression.Expression expression): Sets the expression that the string filter uses to obtain strings from items.
setIgnoreCase void setIgnoreCase(bool ignoreCase): Sets whether the filter ignores case differences.
setMatchMode void setMatchMode(gtk.types.StringFilterMatchMode mode): Sets the match mode for the filter.
setSearch void setSearch(string search): Sets the string to search for.

changed void changed(gtk.types.FilterChange change): Notifies all users of the filter that it has changed.
getStrictness gtk.types.FilterMatch getStrictness(): Gets the known strictness of filters.
match bool match(gobject.object.ObjectG item): Checks if the given item is matched by the filter or not.
connectChanged ulong connectChanged(T callback, Flag!"After" after): Connect to Changed signal.
