CellEditable.startEditing

void startEditing(gdk.event.Event event = null)

Begins editing on a cell_editable.

The [gtk.cell_renderer.CellRenderer] for the cell creates and returns a [gtk.cell_editable.CellEditable] from [gtk.cell_renderer.CellRenderer.startEditing], configured for the [gtk.cell_renderer.CellRenderer] type.

[gtk.cell_editable.CellEditable.startEditing] can then set up cell_editable suitably for editing a cell, e.g. making the Esc key emit GtkCellEditable::editing-done.

Note that the cell_editable is created on-demand for the current edit; its lifetime is temporary and does not persist across other edits and/or cells.

Parameters

event The [gdk.event.Event] that began the editing process, or null if editing was initiated programmatically
