DESCRIPTION
A simple widget for specifying a search pattern (or a list of search patterns).
SYNOPSIS
my $searchbox = Gtk2::Ex::SearchBox->new;
$window->add($searchbox->{widget});METHODS
new;
The constructor.
my $searchbox = Gtk2::Ex::SearchBox->new;If you want to allow only one pattern at a time, then you can call the constructor with 'single' as an argument.
my $searchbox = Gtk2::Ex::SearchBox->new('single');By default, the dropdown combobox contains the following choices.
[
'contains',
'doesn\'t contain',
'not equal to',
'equals',
]But if you want to specify your own set, then you can call the constructor with two arguments.
my $operatorlist = [
'starts with',
'ends with',
'has in the middle'
];
my $searchbox = Gtk2::Ex::SearchBox->new('multiple', $operatorlist);If you do not want even that combobox to the left, then send undef as the operatorlist.
my $searchbox = Gtk2::Ex::SearchBox->new('single', undef);Now this is just an $enty with an $ok_button !!
set_model($model);

$model = [
{'operator' => 'contains', 'field' => 'this pattern'},
{'operator' => 'equals', 'field' => 'that exact pattern'},
]get_model;
Returns the $model

$model = [
{'operator' => 'contains', 'field' => 'this pattern'},
{'operator' => 'equals', 'field' => 'that exact pattern'},
