[pygtk] Add a combo button

[Daniel Woodhouse]

the simple way:

#create a new empty combobox
combo_box = gtk.combo_box_new_text()
items = ["Item 1", "Item 2" ......]
for item in items:
    combo_box.append_text(item)

#we need to know the name of the container we are putting the combobox in
#In this case I have set the name of the gtk.HBox in glade to
"combo_container"
self.wTree.get_widget("combo_container").pack_start(combo_box)
#set the 1st item as selected
combo_box.set_active(0)
combo_box.show()

These are the methods you can use to add and remove text:
append_text(text)
prepend_text(text)
insert_text(index, text)
remove_text(index, text)

To see what is currently selected we can use:
group_box.get_active_text()

There is another way of creating combo boxes, but its a bit more involved, I
think this is suitable for most situations.

Daniel Woodhouse
