This function from GtkCombo seems to match what you want:

=======================================================================  
void        gtk_combo_set_value_in_list     (GtkCombo *combo,
                                             gint val,
                                             gint ok_if_empty);

Specifies whether the value entered in the text entry field must match
one of the values in the list. If this is set then the user will not be
able to perform any other action until a valid value has been entered.
If an empty field is acceptable, the ok_if_empty parameter should be TRUE.

	combo       : a GtkCombo.
	val         : TRUE if the value entered must match one of the
                      values in the list.
	ok_if_empty : TRUE if an empty value is considered valid.
=======================================================================  
(from GTK+ reference documentation).
