Gtk.CellRendererText
Description: Reference for Gtk.CellRendererText

### Class

# GtkCellRendererText

deprecated: 4.10

#### Description [src]

    class Gtk.CellRendererText : Gtk.CellRenderer
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

Renders text in a cell

A `GtkCellRendererText` renders a given text in its cell, using the font, color and style information provided by its properties. The text will be ellipsized if it is too long and the `GtkCellRendererText:ellipsize` property allows it.

If the `GtkCellRenderer:mode` is `GTK_CELL_RENDERER_MODE_EDITABLE`, the `GtkCellRendererText` allows to edit its text using an entry.

Deprecated since: 4.10

List views use widgets to display their contents. You should use `GtkInscription` or `GtkLabel` instead.

#### Constructors

###### gtk_cell_renderer_text_new

Creates a new `GtkCellRendererText`. Adjust how text is drawn using object properties. Object properties can be set globally (with g_object_set()). Also, with `GtkTreeViewColumn`, you can bind a property to a value in a `GtkTreeModel`. For example, you can bind the “text” property on the cell renderer to a string value in the model, thus rendering a different string in each row of the `GtkTreeView`.

#### Instance methods

###### gtk_cell_renderer_text_set_fixed_height_from_font

Sets the height of a renderer to explicitly be determined by the “font” and “y_pad” property set on it. Further changes in these properties do not affect the height, so they must be accompanied by a subsequent call to this function. Using this function is inflexible, and should really only be used if calculating the size of a cell is too slow (ie, a massive number of cells displayed). If `number_of_rows` is -1, then the fixed height is unset, and the height is determined by the properties again.

###### Gtk.CellRendererText:wrap-mode

Specifies how to break the string into multiple lines, if the cell renderer does not have enough room to display the entire string. This property has no effect unless the wrap-width property is set.

###### Gtk.CellRendererText:wrap-width

Specifies the minimum width at which the text is wrapped. The wrap-mode property can be used to influence at what character positions the line breaks can be placed. Setting wrap-width to -1 turns wrapping off.

#### Signals

###### Gtk.CellRendererText::edited

This signal is emitted after `renderer` has been edited.

##### Signals inherited from GtkCellRenderer (2)

###### GtkCellRenderer::editing-canceled

This signal gets emitted when the user cancels the process of editing a cell. For example, an editable cell renderer could be written to cancel editing when the user presses Escape.

###### GtkCellRenderer::editing-started

This signal gets emitted when a cell starts to be edited. The intended use of this signal is to do special setup on `editable`, e.g. adding a `GtkEntryCompletion` or setting up additional columns in a `GtkComboBox`.

##### Signals inherited from GObject (1)

###### GObject::notify

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.
