Re: Reading row from a ComboBox

Hello,

In your application, in the callback of the "find" button, use
gtk_combo_box_get_active_iter() to get the iter from the selected entry
in your combobox.

Then, ask the associated model to get the stored string
gtk_tree_model_get() with the iter you previously get.

In the example you give, if I understand well, you try to select
initially the iter 9 in your combobox? Then, to do it, simply call
gtk_combo_box_set_active(combo, 8) (take care that first is numbered
0). The problem with the tree_path in your example may come from the
fact that you try to reach 9th child (#8) of first child (#0) of your
model (you give to indices to gtk_tree_path_new_from_indices()),
whereas your model has only one level.

Hope it helps,

Damien.
