Nonny, sorry I was unclear.

You are right so far as I know (whether Gtk2 or Gtk3). I am just starting with Gtk3.

I would like to find an editable text entry widget, which can be passed a scalar ref at creation and can have the referenced value be changed by actions invoked by code outside the widget. Which is to say, outside changing when the user's cursor is in the widget need not be defined.

It occurs to me that I may be asking a lot of code that is wrapping C/C++.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
