GTK+ 2 Reference Manual |

Here is an example of a simple, but typical use of a GtkCombo:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
GtkWidget *combo; GList *items = NULL; items = g_list_append (items, "First Item"); items = g_list_append (items, "Second Item"); items = g_list_append (items, "Third Item"); combo = gtk_combo_new (); gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings (GTK_COMBO (combo), items); |
In order to react to the user's selection, connect to the "changed"
signal on the combo and use
gtk_entry_get_text (GTK_ENTRY (combo->entry))
to retrieve the selected text.
And here is how it would be done using GtkComboBoxEntry:
1 2 3 4 5 |
combo_box = gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry (); gtk_combo_box_text_append (GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT (combo_box), "First Item"); gtk_combo_box_text_append (GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT (combo_box), "Second Item"); gtk_combo_box_text_append (GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT (combo_box), "Third Item"); |
In order to react to the user's selection, connect to the "changed"
signal on the combo and use
gtk_entry_get_text (GTK_ENTRY (GTK_BIN (combo_box)->child))
to retrieve the selected text.
