HdySearchBar is a container made to have a search entry (possibly with additional connex widgets, such as drop-down menus, or buttons) built-in. The search bar would appear when a search is started through typing on the keyboard, or the application’s search mode is toggled on.
For keyboard presses to start a search, events will need to be
forwarded from the top-level window that contains the search bar.
See hdy_search_bar_handle_event() for example code. Common shortcuts
such as Ctrl+F should be handled as an application action, or through
the menu items.
You will also need to tell the search bar about which entry you
are using as your search entry using hdy_search_bar_connect_entry().
The following example shows you how to create a more complex search
entry.
HdySearchBar is very similar to GtkSearchBar, the main difference being that it allows the search entry to fill all the available space. This allows you to control your search entry's width with a HdyColumn.
GtkWidget *
hdy_search_bar_new (void);
Creates a HdySearchBar. You will need to tell it about
which widget is going to be your text entry using
hdy_search_bar_connect_entry().
Since: 0.0.6
void hdy_search_bar_connect_entry (HdySearchBar *self,GtkEntry *entry);
Connects the GtkEntry widget passed as the one to be used in this search bar. The entry should be a descendant of the search bar. This is only required if the entry isn’t the direct child of the search bar (as in our main example).
Since: 0.0.6
gboolean
hdy_search_bar_get_search_mode (HdySearchBar *self);
Returns whether the search mode is on or off.
Since: 0.0.6
void hdy_search_bar_set_search_mode (HdySearchBar *self,gboolean search_mode);
Switches the search mode on or off.
Since: 0.0.6
gboolean
hdy_search_bar_get_show_close_button (HdySearchBar *self);
Returns whether the close button is shown.
Since: 0.0.6
void hdy_search_bar_set_show_close_button (HdySearchBar *self,gboolean visible);
Shows or hides the close button. Applications that already have a “search” toggle button should not show a close button in their search bar, as it duplicates the role of the toggle button.
Since: 0.0.6
gboolean hdy_search_bar_handle_event (HdySearchBar *self,GdkEvent *event);
This function should be called when the top-level window which contains the search bar received a key event.
If the key event is handled by the search bar, the bar will
be shown, the entry populated with the entered text and GDK_EVENT_STOP
will be returned. The caller should ensure that events are
not propagated further.
If no entry has been connected to the search bar, using
hdy_search_bar_connect_entry(), this function will return
immediately with a warning.

GDK_EVENT_STOP if the key press event resulted
in text being entered in the search entry (and revealing
the search bar if necessary), GDK_EVENT_PROPAGATE otherwise.
