Re: Combobox and columns

[Daniel Kasak <d j kasak dk gmail com>]

This bit is a little non-obvious. The related documentation is:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkCellLayout.html#gtk-cell-layout-set-attributes

So you can pass various attributes into the renderer / cell layout /
whatever. I'm still slightly confused by it, but I can make it work :)

In perl, I have a convenience method for setting up renderers for
combos with multi-column models:

---

sub create_combo_renderers {

    my ( $self, $widget, $text_column, $icon_column ) = @_;

    if ( $icon_column ) {
        my $renderer = Gtk3::CellRendererPixbuf->new;
        $widget->pack_start( $renderer, FALSE );
        $widget->set_attributes( $renderer, pixbuf => $icon_column );
    }

    my $renderer = Gtk3::CellRendererText->new;
    $widget->pack_start( $renderer, FALSE );
    $widget->set_attributes( $renderer, text => $text_column );

}

---

It's the last line:
$widget->set_attributes( $renderer, text => $text_column );
 ... that tells the renderer / cell layout which column to use.
