Re: Combo box and GList

[Marco Quezada <mquezada nlxcorp com>]

Actually after I submitted the question I realized my mistake. I appologize
for this. The combo can be drawn at any time but the GList will not attach to
it until you run:

gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings((GTK_COMBO (combo), GList);

So basically after the variables loaded into the Glist I invoked the line
above and that did the trick.

Thanks anyway although it was my bad :).
