Re: Gtk3 combos

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

OK I think I've gotten to the bottom of the problem. In Gtk2, using a Gtk2::ComboBoxEntry and the set_text_column() method, a CellRendererText was automatically created for you.

In Gtk3 I'm currently using the Gtk3::ComboBox, and you have to explicitly set up a CellRendererText.

Hi Terence. Thanks for the response :) I will switch to using this method I guess. But the question still remains: what happened to the $liststore->set( $iter, $col_no, $col_val ) way of doing it? This approach is still documented and appears to do *something*, but not what's expected ...

Hmm, I normally run with:

my $list = Gtk3::ListStore->new(qw/Glib::Int Glib::String/);
$list->insert_with_values(0,0,0,1,"Test");
$list->insert_with_values(1,0,1,1,"Test2");

my $combo = Gtk3::ComboBox->new_with_model_and_entry($list);
$combo->set_entry_text_column(1);

Which is why I wrapped that into the no longer existent ComboBoxEntry method:

sub Gtk3::ComboBoxEntry::new
{
    my ($class,$store,$index) = @_;
    my $combo = Glib::Object::Introspection->invoke (
    $_GTK_BASENAME, 'ComboBox', 'new_with_model_and_entry',$class, $store);
    if(defined($index)) { $combo->set_entry_text_column($index); }

    return($combo);
}

More migration questions ...

A simple example of inserting 2 key/value pairs into a combo, and setting the text column to the 2nd ( Glib::String ) column as the 'display' column used to be:

my $model = Gtk2::ListStore->new( "Glib::Int", "Glib::String" );

$model->set(
    $model->append
  , 0, 100
  , 1, "Netezza"
);

$model->set(
    $model->append
  , 0, 200
  , 1, "Teradata"
);

my $widget = $self->{builder}->get_object( "CONFIG.TARGET_DB_TYPE" );
$widget->set_model( $model );
$widget->set_text_column( 1 );

How would you do this in Gtk3? If I change the Gtk2 to Gtk3, and rename set_text_column to set_entry_text_column, I get *nothing*. If I add another column to the ListStore ( so we'd have ID, short_text, long_text ), I get the long_text values showing up. So I assume there is something else I'm supposed to be passing to $model->set? Or am I way off?
