Question about gtk.ComboBoxEntry

hello there all,

i cannot seem to find how to set the active text in a gtk.ComboBoxEntry.
i can populate it with a list of items using the append_text(item) method.
but i cannot seem to find how to actually set the item i want to be active.

thanks for any tips

look in the superclass:
   Gtk::ComboBox.set_active( index )

but you have to work out index yourself, rather than passing in the text item.
