gtk-tree-view-search-entry (view)

view -- a gtk-tree-view widget
entry -- the gtk-entry widget the interactive search code of the tree view should use or nil

Accessor of the gtk-entry widget which is currently in use as interactive search entry for the tree view.

The function gtk-tree-view-search-entry returns the search entry which is currently in use as interactive search entry for the tree view. In case the built-in entry is being used, nil will be returned. The function (setf gtk-tree-view-search-entry) sets the search entry.

This is useful when you want to provide a search entry in your interface at all time at a fixed position. Passing nil for entry will make the interactive search code use the built-in popup entry again.
