<p>A single <a class="link" href="GtkEntryBuffer.html" title="GtkEntryBuffer"><span class="type">GtkEntryBuffer</span></a> object can be shared by multiple <a class="link" href="GtkEntry.html" title="GtkEntry"><span class="type">GtkEntry</span></a>

position, visibility attributes, icon etc.</p>
<p><a class="link" href="GtkEntryBuffer.html" title="GtkEntryBuffer"><span class="type">GtkEntryBuffer</span></a> may be derived from. Such a derived class might allow
text to be stored in an alternate location, such as non-pageable memory,
useful in the case of important passwords. Or a derived class could
integrate with an applications concept of undo/redo.</p>
