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().

<para>

|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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 #GtkComboBox<!-- -->es
|
|
can also be used with #GtkComboBoxEntry<!-- -->s 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().
