A single line text entry field.

Description
GtkEntry is a single line text field generally
used where input is required from the user. The minimum length of the
entry field is set internally at 150 pixels; the maximum length is
determined by the size of the container. If the text entered is longer
than the entry field, the widget will scroll so that the cursor position
is visible.
Both GtkEntry and GtkText
have the potential to be edited by the user, and share a fairly large
number of key bindings to that end. These are listed under
GtkEditable for the sake of completeness;
however, note that they are replaced by a more intuitive set in GTK+ 2.0.
It will be immediately obvious that quite a few
GtkEntry methods are marked here as being
deprecated in later GTK+ releases. Please be aware that all editable
classes are undergoing radical changes, and that deprecated methods may
or may not be supportable in the future. It would therefore be wise to
avoid methods marked as deprecated, as far as is possible.
