I have to give a bump to this. Does anyone know the secret behind the browser URL bar? Is the code even posted somewhere (Not sure, is that part of the browser open source?).<br><br>It's perfect for what I need... Thanks!<br>

I'm trying to add search history support to a hildon.Entry but am having a bit of trouble. In short, I want to have the user type into the entry and if what they are typing is present in their history, have a list appear showing what their current entry matches in their history. If the user taps on an item in the list, it should set the entry to that value (basically a gtk.ComboboxEntry that is populated based on what the user has currently entered into the entry).<br>
<br>Looking through the PyGTK widgets, it seemed that a gtk.EntryCompletion was exactly what I was looking for. I tried creating a hildon.Entry and using the .set_completion() method to set the entry but that doesn't appear to work very well. The main problems are:<br>
<br>1) The generated list doesn't seem to popup reliably (sometimes it will, sometimes it won't)<br>2) The rows in the popup aren't clickable -- you can select them via the up/down then return buttons on the keyboard, but are not directly clickable.<br>
3) The rows aren't finger-friendly at all (not that you can click them anyway...)<br><br>So, how would I go about creating the above? It is doable, because I pretty much need to know how to make something like the builtin browser uses in it's toolbar (actually, the browser search bar is exactly what I want to implement, I just don't know what widget(s) are required to do it).<br>
