Implemented Interfaces

Description

This widget is similar to a GtkComboBox with the exception that the user is allowed to enter a value that is not present in the choice list. It displays the selected value in a GtkEntry so that user can modify an exisiting value, or enter a new one.

Like, the GtkComboBox, this widget may have an underlying model, or use the convenient new_text constructor. If you use a model, your model must always have a text column that can be set by the set_text_column() function.

You may retrieve the text from the entry via the get_active_text function.

Constructors
