Detailed Description

A widget used to choose from a list of items.

A ComboBox is a widget that allows the user to choose from a list of valid choices. The ComboBox displays the selected choice. When activated, the ComboBox displays a popup which allows the user to make a new choice. The style in which the selected value is displayed, and the style of the popup is determined by the current theme. It may be similar to a Windows-style combo box.

The ComboBox uses the model-view pattern; the list of valid choices is specified in the form of a tree model, and the display of the choices can be adapted to the data in the model by using cell renderers, as you would in a tree view. This is possible since ComboBox implements the CellLayout interface. The tree model holding the valid choices is not restricted to a flat list, it can be a real tree, and the popup will reflect the tree structure.

To allow the user to enter values not in the model, the 'has-entry' property allows the ComboBox to contain a Gtk::Entry. This entry can be accessed by calling get_entry(), or you can just call get_entry_text() to get the text from the Entry.

For a simple list of textual choices, the model-view API of ComboBox can be a bit overwhelming. In this case, ComboBoxText offers a simple alternative. Both ComboBox and ComboBoxText can contain an entry.

The ComboBox widget looks like this:
