Need ComboBoxEntry example

ruby-talk
1

I'm having problems getting the list to show in the popup.

I've spent considerable time trying to track down an example
at the RAA, but have been unsuccessful. A ComboBox example
should work just as well for what I need.

If you have an example of either of the above, or link to
same, I'd sure appreciate it.

Thank you.

Not an example, but the documentation looks pretty good.

God, I wish. I've spent days with those docs, with no joy.

The comboboxentry displays. I can put default text in the entry box.
The popup drops down, but it has no text.

I'm not sure if I need CellRenderer or a TreeView, or what?

Here's what I've got, though it probably has a "kitchen sink" look
about it as I'm trying everything at this point:

   def set_account_list

      # set the comboentrybox "child", the entrybox text area, to...
      @account_comboentry_box.child.set_text("hi")

      @account_comboentry_box.set_text_column(0)

      # a ListStore is a type of model (of the data)
      # _this_ model has 1 column of type String
      @account_list_store_model = ListStore.new(String)

      # create a row in the model, if number is higher than the current
number of rows,
      # data is appended to the list
      @new_row_iter = @account_list_store_model.insert(80)

# new_row_iter.set_value(1, 'Apple')
      @account_list_store_model.set_value(@new_row_iter, 0, 'Apple')

      # view on the model
      @account_comboentry_box_model_view = TreeView.new(model =
@account_list_store_model)

      # guessing here
# @account_comboentry_box.set_view(@account_comboentry_box_model_view)

   end

Still looking for some example code.

Thanks

Did you try ruby-gnome2/gtk/sample/misc/combobox.rb in tar-ball ?

Probably not, I had my mental '*.rb' filter on, though, that title
would have got my attention, at least later, and I would've gone for
a tarball, for sure at that point.

One thing though...

that url can't be found. I tried a couple of derivatives of it, but
still, no go. Also, thought you might mean as part of the install, but
I don't see it there either.

Can you double check that url?

Thank you

The author refers to the path within the tar-ball and it's correct.
This is the example:
