What i'd really like to do is capture events from the
dropdown menu, and make the entry either uneditable or
have autocompletion.  That way the user _must_ select
something predefined.

I tried:
GtkWidget *cboModem;

...

cboModem = lookup_widget(FMain, "cboModem");
gtk_signal_connect
(GTK_OBJECT(GTK_COMBO(cboModem).entry), "changed",
GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(on_combo_entry_changed), NULL);

It should also be noted that i'm using Glade, and come
from a VB background (explains the naming convention).

thx in advance again,
Bob
