Problem with PyGTK/Glade2 ComboBox vs ComboEntryBox

Hi all. Here is a tiny container for one of each combo box, along
with the glade file. Just 2 widgets, so hopefully not too large. How
the heck do I get the selection from the ComboBox, as opposed to the
ComboEntryBox?

I'm pulling my hair out over this one!

Ah this has changed in gtk 2.4
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2...kComboBox.html
The docs on pygtk.org are out of date, mutter...
Are you sure (your) pygtk supports the newer model?

Pádraig.

I have no idea. I have what I believe to be the latest pygtk - 2.2.0.

This has been frustrating me for a while. Is there a workaround?

Your version of pygtk does not cover gtk-2.4 changes.
You have the latest stable.

There is a beta which support new widgets. The last (of yesterday), is
pygtk-2.3.92
You can find it at
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/pygtk/2.3/

Ciao,
Riccardo

Thank you both!

I have the latest pygtk AND used the docs to get the combo box
working. Thanks again!
