[pygtk] gtk.ListStore columns in a gtk.ComboBox (added full code listing)

I've never tryed in a ComboBox. I just guess is not very different than an
Entry. I paste here some code I have worked out in the past. the code is
working but I had to cut many parts that would be useless. I hope I didn't
cut too much.

The key point is that you create 

    a completion object
    a renderer 
    a liststore

The renderer knows that it should represent what is stored in one column of
the liststore, while you instruct the completion to use the other via
set_match_function. 

    entry = gtk.Entry()
    completion = gtk.EntryCompletion()
    completion.set_property('popup-set-width', True)
    completion.set_property('minimum-key-length', 0)
    completion.connect('match-selected', self.match_selected_cb, field_name)
    listore = gtk.ListStore(int, str)
    renderer = gtk.CellRendererText()
    completion.pack_start(renderer)
    completion.add_attribute(renderer, 'text', 1)
        
    completion.set_match_func(self.match_func, (col_entry, mode))
    completion.set_model(listore)
    entry.set_completion(completion)



Hope that helps
