RE: Alternative to gtk_widget_set_sensitive on GetComboBoxEntry

["Ian Puleston" <ian underpressuredivers com>]

Thanks, for the suggestion, but nope. Your suggestion gives a
"gtk_editable_set_editable: assertion `GTK_IS_EDITABLE (editable)' failed"
assertion failure. The following works to make the entry field non-editable:

gtk_editable_set_editable(GTK_EDITABLE(gtk_bin_get_child(GTK_BIN(entry))),
FALSE);

However, what that achieves is just to make the entry field non-editable.
The drop-down selection part still operates.
