You can use the next function :

gtk_combo_set_value_in_list(myCombo, TRUE, FALSE);
/* value must be in list, empty values are not ok */

also, the Gtk::Combo widget contains a Gtk::Entry widget. You can
disable "editable".

gtk_entry_set_editable(myCombo->entry, FALSE);

Please take a look for more info at :
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkCombo.html#gtk-combo-set-value-in-list
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkEntry.html#gtk-entry-set-editable

You can also consider the usage of GtkOptionMenu...

Hope it helps :-)
