Re: GTKCombo: autocomplete?

in gtk+ 2.4, there are new object that will make it easier to do what you (Daniel) are talking about --- GtkComboBox sucks less than GtkCombo, and GtkEntry now has a helper object called GtkEntryCompletion, which, oddly enough, does text completion.

you will need gtk+ 2.4 (comes with Gnome 2.6) and Gtk2 > 1.04 to use these new objects.

Damn it!
Glade doesn't support that yet. From http://glade.gnome.org/todo.html :
We'll try to add support for the new widgets in GTK+ 2.4 but that will be about it.
I have all the above pre-requisites though.
When I get time ( between fixing bloody MS Access garbage here ) I'll try just leaving an empty space for a GtkComboBox in the glade file and inserting it in via code when the thing loads up.

Straying off-topic a little ... does anyone know how smooth the move to Perl bindings for Glade 3 will be ( assuming it happens at all )?
