hi,
iam working on gtk port of webkit and i have a need to use the native
gtk input widget (GtkEntry) for text entry instead of the webkits own
text entry control.
Hi Zaheer,
Most WebKit ports including the GTK+ port now render input controls
using drawing primitives provided by the style engine rather than
instantiating real widgets. This is done to reduce overhead and make CSS
styling easier. Other browser engines have also moved away from real
widget instances, so this isn't specific to WebKit.
Why do you want a GtkEntry? If you're looking for better text
internationalisation or input method support there are bug reports for
both of these, complete with partial patches. You can help get the
features finished sooner by testing and submitting improved versions of
the patches.
