## Details

### GtkItemEntry

    typedef struct _GtkItemEntry GtkItemEntry;

The GtkItemEntry struct contains only private data. It should only be accessed through the functions described below.

### gtk_item_entry_new ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_item_entry_new                  (void);

Returns : |

### gtk_item_entry_new_with_max_length ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_item_entry_new_with_max_length  (gint max);

Creates a new GtkItemEntry with the maximum allowed number of characters in the contents of the widget. If the current contents are longer than the given length, then they will be truncated to fit.

`max` : | the maximum character length of the entry, or 0 for no maximum. (other than the maximum length of entries.) The value passed in will be clamped to the range 0-65536.
Returns : | the newly-created GtkItemEntry widget.

### gtk_item_entry_set_text ()

    void                gtk_item_entry_set_text             (GtkItemEntry *entry,
                                                             const gchar *text,
                                                             GtkJustification justification);

Sets the text in the widget to the given value, replacing the current contents.

`entry` : | a GtkItemEntry
`text` : | the new text
`justification` : | a GtkJustification : GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT,GTK_JUSTIFY_RIGHT,GTK_JUSTIFY_CENTER,GTK_JUSTIFY_FILL

### gtk_item_entry_set_justification ()

    void                gtk_item_entry_set_justification    (GtkItemEntry *entry,
                                                             GtkJustification just);

Sets justification of the widget to the given value, replacing the current one.

`entry` : | a GtkItemEntry
`just` : | a GtkJustification : GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT,GTK_JUSTIFY_RIGHT,GTK_JUSTIFY_CENTER,GTK_JUSTIFY_FILL

### gtk_item_entry_get_max_length_bytes ()

    gint                gtk_item_entry_get_max_length_bytes (GtkItemEntry *item_entry);

Retrieves the maximum byte length for the contents of GtkItemEntry.

`item_entry` : | a GtkItemEntry
Returns : | maximum byte length or 0.

Since 3.0.6

### gtk_item_entry_set_max_length_bytes ()

    void                gtk_item_entry_set_max_length_bytes (GtkItemEntry *item_entry,
                                                             gint max_length_bytes);

Sets the maximum byte length for the contents of the GtkItemEntry. Existing content will not be truncted.

`item_entry` : | a GtkItemEntry
`max_length_bytes` : | maximum byte length or 0

Since 3.0.6

### gtk_item_entry_get_cursor_visible ()

    gboolean            gtk_item_entry_get_cursor_visible   (GtkItemEntry *entry);

`entry` : |
Returns : |

### gtk_item_entry_set_cursor_visible ()

    void                gtk_item_entry_set_cursor_visible   (GtkItemEntry *entry,
                                                             gboolean visible);

`entry` : |
`visible` : |
