A GtkComboBox is a widget that allows the user to choose from a
list of valid choices. The GtkComboBox displays the selected
choice. When activated, the GtkComboBox 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 GtkOptionMenu,
or similar to a Windows-style combo box.
Unlike its predecessors GtkCombo and GtkOptionMenu, the GtkComboBox
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 GtkComboBox implements the GtkCellLayout 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.
In addition to the model-view API, GtkComboBox offers a simple API which
is suitable for text-only combo boxes, and hides the complexity of managing
the data in a model. It consists of the functions gtkComboBoxNewText,
gtkComboBoxAppendText, gtkComboBoxInsertText,
gtkComboBoxPrependText, gtkComboBoxRemoveText and
gtkComboBoxGetActiveText.Convenient Construction
gtkComboBox is the result of collapsing the constructors of GtkComboBox (gtkComboBoxNew, gtkComboBoxNewWithModel) and accepts a subset of its arguments matching the required arguments of one of its delegate constructors.References
