Note: the existence of this function is inconsistent
with the rest of the GTK+ API. The normal setup would
be to just require the user to make an extra call
to <a href="GtkEntry.html#gtk-entry-set-max-length"><code class="function">gtk_entry_set_max_length()</code></a> instead. It is not
expected that this function will be removed, but
it would be better practice not to use it.</p>

up the text in an entry with some other text, e.g. when using the

change; you'll need to connect to the "notify::scroll-offset"
signal to track this. Remember when using the <a
