Re: Get active text from GtkComboBox

[Stefan Kost <kost imn htwk-leipzig de>]

Martyn,

I know of the tutorial ;)
I noted that one could also do
  g_object_get(combo_box,"model",&model,NULL);
in that case one would need to do g_object_unref(model), when done with it.
So I looked at the gtk+ code and yes it just does a
  return(self->priv->model);

No need to unref() .
