GtkCombo: how to get selected item

[Aleksandr Konstantinov <sanjak tipas lt>]

  Hello

 I looked through documentation and faq and found no answer to the
following question:
 How can I find what item (number of item) was selected by user from
popdown list
without using signals ?
 I can't use entry, because my list can have items with the same names.


 Thanks in advance
