Re: Search for a widget that can completion and option_box

[Matias Torres <torresmat gmail com>]

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I modified a function i found in 
a webpage (put koders in google), this is the fuction:

/*
*  This function returns a GtkComboBox with a GtkEntryCompletion inside 
instead a GtkEntry
*  it needs a GtkTreeModel containing the data and the column used to 
search
*/

GtkWidget *create_combo_box_entry (GtkTreeModel *model, int text_column) {
   GtkWidget *categories; /*GtkComboBox*/
   GObject *completion; /*GtkEntryCompletion*/

   categories = gtk_combo_box_entry_new_with_model (model, text_column);
   completion = G_OBJECT( gtk_entry_completion_new () );
   /* There's a gtkentry inside the combobox, all we need to do is set 
the completion for it*/
   gtk_entry_set_completion ( GTK_ENTRY( gtk_bin_get_child( GTK_BIN( 
categories ) ) ),  GTK_ENTRY_COMPLETION(completion) );
   gtk_entry_completion_set_model (GTK_ENTRY_COMPLETION(completion),  
gtk_combo_box_get_model(GTK_COMBO_BOX(categories)));
   gtk_entry_completion_set_text_column( 
GTK_ENTRY_COMPLETION(completion), text_column );
   gtk_entry_completion_set_minimum_key_length (GTK_ENTRY_COMPLETION 
(completion), 2);
   gtk_entry_completion_set_inline_completion (GTK_ENTRY_COMPLETION 
(completion), FALSE);
   /* To keep the the widgets syncronized */
   g_signal_connect( GTK_ENTRY_COMPLETION(completion), 
"match-selected", (GCallback) update_cb, categories );
  
   return categories;
}

That's it, it worked for me. Oh, excuse my bad english too. :P
