get_text

Get a new string containing the contents of the widget as a string without the prefix and/or suffix and/or format if they have been specified.

This method differs from calling get_text since the latest will return the complete text in this including prefix and/or suffix and/or format.

Note: null may be returned if this method is called while the widget is working on some internal modifications, or if set_text was called with a null as its text argument.

Parameters:

this

a Entry.

Returns:

a new string, or null
