GtkComboBoxEntry
A text entry field with a dropdown list
A #GtkComboBoxEntry is a widget that allows the user to choose from a
list of valid choices or enter a different value. It is very similar
to a #GtkComboBox, but it displays the selected value in an entry to
allow modifying it.
In contrast to a #GtkComboBox, the underlying model of a #GtkComboBoxEntry
must always have a text column (see gtk_combo_box_entry_set_text_column()),
and the entry will show the content of the text column in the selected row.
To get the text from the entry, use gtk_combo_box_get_active_text().
The changed signal will be emitted while typing into a GtkComboBoxEntry,
as well as when selecting an item from the GtkComboBoxEntry's list. Use
gtk_combo_box_get_active() or gtk_combo_box_get_active_iter() to discover
whether an item was actually selected from the list.
Connect to the activate signal of the GtkEntry (use gtk_bin_get_child())
to detect when the user actually finishes entering text.
The convenience API to construct simple text-only #GtkComboBoxes
can also be used with #GtkComboBoxEntrys which have been constructed
with gtk_combo_box_entry_new_text().
If you have special needs that go beyond a simple entry (e.g. input validation),
it is possible to replace the child entry by a different widget using
gtk_container_remove() and gtk_container_add().
GtkComboBoxEntry as GtkBuildable
Beyond the <attributes> support that is shared by all
GtkCellLayout implementation,
GtkComboBoxEntry makes the entry available in UI definitions as an internal
child with name "entry".
