Re: Signal when the content of a GtkEntry is changed

[Thym <thymus gmail com>]

Thanks for all this answers :]

I choosed the focus-out-event solution :

I connect the signal to my entry :
g_signal_connect_swapped(pMyApp->pEntryMenuName, "focus-out-event", 
G_CALLBACK(entryMenuName_changed), (gpointer)pMyApp);

pMyApp is a structure contain some pointer like pEntryMenuName or also a 
string contain the value of the entry before any changes.

gboolean entryMenuName_changed(GtkWidget *pWidget, gpointer pdata) {

MainWindow *pMyApp;

pMyApp = (MainWindow *)pWidget;

if ( strcmp(pMyApp->szMenuName, 
gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(pMyApp->pEntryMenuName))) ) {
menu_edited(TRUE, pMyApp);
}

return FALSE;
}

Thank you
