A ComboBox is a widget that allows the user to choose from a list of valid choices. The ComboBox displays the selected choice. When activated, the ComboBox displays a popup which allows the user to make a new choice. The style in which the selected value is displayed, and the style of the popup is determined by the current theme. It may be similar to a OptionMenu, or similar to a Windows-style combo box.
The ComboBox uses the model-view pattern; the list of valid choices is specified in the form of a tree model, and the display of the choices can be adapted to the data in the model by using cell renderers, as you would in a tree view. This is possible since ComboBox implements the CellLayout interface. The tree model holding the valid choices is not restricted to a flat list, it can be a real tree, and the popup will reflect the tree structure.
See also ComboBoxText, which is specialised for a single text column.

Gtk::ComboBox::ComboBox | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel>& | model | ) | [explicit] |
Creates a new ComboBox with the model initialized to model.
TreeModel::const_iterator Gtk::ComboBox::get_active | ( | ) | const |
Gets an iterator that points to the current active item, if it exists.
TreeModel::iterator Gtk::ComboBox::get_active | ( | ) |
Gets an iterator that points to the current active item, if it exists.
int Gtk::ComboBox::get_active_row_number | ( | ) | const |
Returns the index of the currently active item, or -1 if there's no active item.
If the model is a non-flat treemodel, and the active item is not an immediate child of the root of the tree, this function returns gtk_tree_path_get_indices (path)[0]
, where path
is the Gtk::TreePath of the active item.
bool Gtk::ComboBox::get_add_tearoffs | ( | ) | const |
Gets the current value of the :add-tearoffs property.
int Gtk::ComboBox::get_column_span_column | ( | ) | const |
Returns the column with column span information for combo_box .
bool Gtk::ComboBox::get_focus_on_click | ( | ) | const |
Returns whether the combo box grabs focus when it is clicked with the mouse.
See set_focus_on_click().
true
if the combo box grabs focus when it is clicked with the mouse.Glib::RefPtr<const TreeModel> Gtk::ComboBox::get_model | ( | ) | const |
Returns the Gtk::TreeModel which is acting as data source for combo_box .
Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel> Gtk::ComboBox::get_model | ( | ) |
Returns the Gtk::TreeModel which is acting as data source for combo_box .
int Gtk::ComboBox::get_row_span_column | ( | ) | const |
Returns the column with row span information for combo_box .
int Gtk::ComboBox::get_wrap_width | ( | ) | const |
Returns the wrap width which is used to determine the number of columns for the popup menu.
If the wrap width is larger than 1, the combo box is in table mode.
