Gtkdialog question

September 09, 2009 — BarryK

In the PPM there is a Find box with a Go button beside it. There is a request that pressing ENTER in the Find box should initiate the search.

However, if I put <action> tags within the <enter>, they run everytime a character is typed:

   <text><label>Find:</label></text>

   <entry>

    <variable>ENTRY1</variable>

    <action>/usr/local/petget/findnames.sh</action>

    <action>refresh:TREE1</action>

   </entry>

   <button>

    <label>Go</label>

    <action>/usr/local/petget/findnames.sh</action>

    <action>refresh:TREE1</action>

   </button>

Does anyone know how to set it so that the actions only run when the ENTER key is pressed?

"It works! Zigbert, thanks for that. Ah, there is an example: /usr/share/doc/gtkdialog3/examples/16.02.widget_properties_default ...which I did see before, but I didn't understand it.
