Re: Combo box from Glist without popdown_strings

[Chris Hoefler <hoeflerb brandeis edu>]

The generic way to create a combo box is to construct a TreeModel and 
use it to populate the combo box. However, if you just want a list of 
strings in your combo box, you can use gtk_combo_box_new_text to create 
it, and gtk_combo_box_append or gtk_combo_box_insert to populate it.

See,
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkComboBox.html
