What about a gtk entry with  autocompletion?
    
        

Hi Martin!
  
      

Here in python a complete sample using autocompletion:

  entry = gtk.Entry()
  completion = gtk.EntryCompletion()
  entry.set_completion(completion)
  liststore = gtk.ListStore(gobject.TYPE_STRING, gtk.gdk.Pixbuf)
  completion.set_model(liststore)
  pixbufcell = gtk.CellRendererPixbuf()
  completion.pack_start(pixbufcell)
  completion.add_attribute(pixbufcell, 'pixbuf', 1)
  # create a gtk.CellRendererText and pack it in the completion. Also set
the
  # 'text' attribute
  completion.set_text_column(0)
  # load up the liststore with string - pixbuf data - assuming pixbuf
created

the same for ruby/gnome, monogtk#, gtkmm, gtk, etc,..
  liststore.append(['string text', pixbuf])


You need a entry and also the EntryCompletion class. The widget you can 
see is the gtk::entry

Hi there

I'm trying to do that same thing, but using a comboboxentry, wich gets the
list from a DB.

This is my code and it gets the values from the DB and show them as a
combolist, but I have
no idea of how to add that autocomplete function to that. This is my code so
far.



	widget = "combo_widget" # "combo widget" is a comboboxenty and I0m using
glade to create it.
	self.combo = self.xml.get_widget(widget)

	self.c.execute("SELECT column FROM table")
	list = self.c.fetchall()
	for values in list:
		self.combo.append_text('%s' % values[0])

Thanks
