Class
GtkComboBoxText
deprecated: 4.10
Description [src]
final class Gtk.ComboBoxText : Gtk.ComboBox
implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.CellEditable, Gtk.CellLayout, Gtk.ConstraintTarget {
/* No available fields */
}A GtkComboBoxText is a simple variant of GtkComboBox for text-only
use cases.
GtkComboBoxText hides the model-view complexity of GtkComboBox.
To create a GtkComboBoxText, use gtk_combo_box_text_new() or
gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry().
You can add items to a GtkComboBoxText with
gtk_combo_box_text_append_text(),
gtk_combo_box_text_insert_text() or
gtk_combo_box_text_prepend_text() and remove options with
gtk_combo_box_text_remove().
If the GtkComboBoxText contains an entry (via the
GtkComboBox:has-entry property), its contents can be retrieved
using gtk_combo_box_text_get_active_text().
You should not call gtk_combo_box_set_model() or attempt to pack more
cells into this combo box via its GtkCellLayout interface.
GtkComboBoxText as GtkBuildable
The GtkComboBoxText implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports
adding items directly using the <items> element and specifying <item>
elements for each item. Each <item> element can specify the “id”
corresponding to the appended text and also supports the regular
translation attributes “translatable”, “context” and “comments”.
Here is a UI definition fragment specifying GtkComboBoxText items:
<object class="GtkComboBoxText">
<items>
<item translatable="yes" id="factory">Factory</item>
<item translatable="yes" id="home">Home</item>
<item translatable="yes" id="subway">Subway</item>
</items>
</object>
CSS nodes
combobox
╰── box.linked
├── entry.combo
├── button.combo
╰── window.popup
GtkComboBoxText has a single CSS node with name combobox. It adds
the style class .combo to the main CSS nodes of its entry and button
children, and the .linked class to the node of its internal box.
Deprecated since: 4.10
Use GtkDropDown with a GtkStringList instead.
