No way of removing elements from a ComboBox?

[Matthias Kaeppler <nospam digitalraid com>]

Hello,

since the ComboBox classes don't define any function for clearing them 
or removing single elements, I searched on the web, and found this post:

<quote>
We should add a method for this to GtkComboBoxText in gtkmm 2.5/2.6, so
that this is not necessary. I think I already added a TODO to the .hg
file.

But you don't _need_ this now. Remember that GtkComboBoxText is just a
convenience class, so that you don't need to define the GtkTreeModel and
assign a model column to a cell renderer. Likewise, functions such as
gtk_combo_box_remove_text() are just convenience functions.

I am adding entries to a combobox quite often in my program. Does that 
means there is no limit on how many entries can be added? How is this 
handled? Can it "overflow" or so?
