[Glade-users] combobox question

[ashats at hotmail.com (Arthur Shats)]

I am not familiar with TreeModel. Does it mean I have to create a treeview widget in Glade instead of a 
combobox widget?
 
Also, in my other combo box I have items that represent countries, so each item has a country code and its 
name beside it, like this:
AG Argentina
AU Austria
BR Brazil
FR France
Of course, when item is selected I want to display the country name in the box, without the country code. I 
have a feeling I need to use TreeModel for this as well, right? No idea how to do this. Any hints/examples 
will be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Arthur.
