Hi Luis,

After today you will have plenty of time to read the documentation. Read
the file Glade-Perl-0.43/Documentation/Gtk-Perl-Docs.txt to get started.

1) If the strings are static, fill it in Glade.

2) At run-time     
  my $window = new UI_Class;    # whatever you called your form
  $window->FORM->{'combobox'}->set_popdown_strings( 'stringa', 'stringb')

  my $string = $window->FORM->{'combobox'}->entry->get_text;

or in a signal handler,
  my $form = $__PACKAGE__::all_forms->{$instance};
  my $string = $form->{'combobox'}->entry->get_text

What's the rush? It's only 15:10 (here) and you have 3 hours extra :)

Look at the generated perl source, it sets all sorts of widget properties.
