Re: Method get_active_iter of ComboBox

[Kerenoc Kerenoc <kerenoc01 gmail com>]

Many thanks, it solved my problem.

And it prompted me to use perldoc on an Ubuntu virtual machine as  there is'nt any Gtk related documentation on Strawberry Perl, my primary development environment.

Apparently, we never added an overload for it to make it behave like in
Gtk2, so you can ask perli11ndoc how to use it:

---
# perli11ndoc Gtk3::ComboBox::get_active_iter
METHOD

   Gtk3::ComboBox::get_active_iter [available since 2.4]

SYNOPSIS

   ($retval, $iter) = $object->get_active_iter ()

DESCRIPTION

   ...

RETURN VALUES

   ? gboolean
     %TRUE if @iter was set, %FALSE otherwise

   ? iter: Gtk3::TreeIter
     A #GtkTreeIter
---

Use the bool $retval to know whether $iter is valid.
