Description ben v 2008-05-16 18:20:11 UTC 
When a tree row is selected, if the user starts typing, some kind of text entry box appears and receives and displays the input.

This entry box appears to have its own window, separate from the main application's window.  I say this because I was monitoring the main window's key press events, and it stops getting them after this entry box appears.

I am fairly certain that this has something to do with tree rows or at least treeViews.  If it is a feature for some reason, I can not find documentation for it, nor can I figure out how to disable it.

if you disable search with Gtk::TreeView::set_enable_search(false), does it behave as you want?  

Btw, for this sort of question, you'd be better off just sending a quick email to the gtkmm mailing list.

disabling search does make it behave as I want.  Thanks -- sorry if I missed that in the documentation.
Comment 3 Jonathon Jongsma 2008-05-21 14:57:50 UTC 
OK, closing then.
