I've got a GTKCombo box that I'm loading data into with $mycombo->set_popdown_strings(@list_of_companies). The combo box will contain a list of all of our clients - it's a pretty large list. Is it possible to have the combo box seek the closest match to what you type in the entry box ( yeah, like Access )....Yes, you can. The GtkCombo contains a GtkEntry and GtkEntry has 'insert-text' and 'delete-text' signals. There are also some facilities in Gtk to do completions, which should be faster than regexps (after all, C is still faster than perl). Actualy, it should be filed as Gtk bug if GtkCombo does not do autocompletion automaticaly.well, you could file a missing feature bug on GtkCombo, but it would be ignored -- GtkCombo is deprecated as of gtk+ 2.4.0, in favor of GtkComboBox.
Hm, gtk 2.4 didn't make it to my system yet (unstable debian, updated
today) and so did not it's documentation.
