## Detailed Description

Completes partial file and directory names given a partial string by looking in the file system for clues.

Can return a list of possible completion strings for widget implementation.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ create()

Glib::RefPtr< FilenameCompleter > Gio::FilenameCompleter::create | ( |  | ) |
| static

## ◆ get_completion_suffix()

std::string Gio::FilenameCompleter::get_completion_suffix | ( | const std::string & | initial_text | ) | const

Obtains a suffix completion for initial_text from completer.

Suffix will be an empty string if there's no shared suffix among matching completions. If there's no matching completions anyway, nullptr is returned.

Parameters

  initial_text | Text to be completed.

Returns
  A suffix completion string, or nullptr if no completion exists.

## ◆ get_completions()

std::vector< Glib::ustring > Gio::FilenameCompleter::get_completions | ( | const std::string & | initial_text | ) | const

Gets an array of completion strings for a given initial text.

Parameters

  initial_text | Text to be completed.

Returns
  Array of strings with possible completions for initial_text.

## ◆ get_type()

GType Gio::FilenameCompleter::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

## ◆ gobj() [1/2]

GFilenameCompleter * Gio::FilenameCompleter::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GFilenameCompleter * Gio::FilenameCompleter::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj_copy()

GFilenameCompleter * Gio::FilenameCompleter::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

## ◆ on_got_completion_data()

virtual void Gio::FilenameCompleter::on_got_completion_data | ( |  | ) |
| protectedvirtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_got_completion_data().

## ◆ operator=()

FilenameCompleter & Gio::FilenameCompleter::operator= | ( | FilenameCompleter && | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ set_dirs_only()

void Gio::FilenameCompleter::set_dirs_only | ( | bool | dirs_only = true | ) |

If dirs_only is true, completer will only complete directory names, and not file names.

This function needs to be called before waiting for results from the completer to be populated.

Parameters

  dirs_only | A bool.

## ◆ signal_got_completion_data()

Glib::SignalProxy< void()> Gio::FilenameCompleter::signal_got_completion_data | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  void on_my_got_completion_data()

Flags: Run Last

Emitted when the file name completion information comes available.

## Friends And Related Symbol Documentation

## ◆ wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::FilenameCompleter > wrap | ( | GFilenameCompleter * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = false )
| related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
