[pygtk] gtk.combo problem

[alain walter]

 Something like that ?

               # Build the listStore
                liststore =3D gtk.ListStore(str)
                for value in MyValues():
                    liststore.append([value])
                # Build completion
                completion =3D gtk.EntryCompletion()
                completion.set_model(liststore)
                completion.set_minimum_key_length(0)
                completion.set_text_column(0)
                completion.set_inline_completion(True)
                # Built combobox
                entry =3D gtk.ComboBoxEntry(liststore, 0)
                entry.get_child().set_completion(completion)
                entry.get_child().set_max_length(itWidth)
