Gtk2::ComboBoxEntry(3)                     User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       Gtk2::ComboBoxEntry - A text entry field with a dropdown list

SYNOPSIS
         # the easy way
         $combo_box_entry = Gtk2::ComboBoxEntry->new_text;
         foreach (qw(one two three four five)) {
             $combo_box_entry->append_text ($_);
         }

         # or the powerful way.  there always has to be at least
         # one text column in the model, but you can have anything
         # else in it that you want, just like Gtk2::ComboBox.
         $combo_box_entry = Gtk2::ComboBoxEntry->new ($model, $text_index);

         # to mess with with entry directly, get the child:
         $current_text = $combo_box_entry->child->get_text;

DESCRIPTION
       A ComboBoxEntry 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
       ComboBox, but displays the selected value in an entry to allow
       modifying it.

       The ComboBoxEntry has a Gtk2::Entry as its child.  To get or set the
       currently-displayed text, just manipulate the entry normally.
