RE: [PHP-GTK] GtkCombo

Yep, this cracked it... function get_device_name() { $comboEntry = $GLOBALS['combo']->entry; // access the selected list item $device_name = $comboEntry->get_text(); // set device_name to selection //var_dump($device_name); return $device_name; } function send_job() { $filename = $GLOBALS['nx_outbox'].get_device_name().'_'. '34131341'.'.J'; echo $filename; } -----Original Message----- From: Rhys Campbell [mailto:rhys.campbell@da-systems.co.uk] Sent: 08 June 2004 09:01 To: PHP-GTK Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: RE: [PHP-GTK] GtkCombo set_popdown_strings() populates the combo box fine. I've checked the name of the widget in the xml file and that's fine. Just used var_dump($device_name) in the get_device_name() function and it it does return the selected value. So I guess the problem must lie in my send_job() function. Can't see what as it's as simple as... Think I will have a go at returning \ passing the variable instead.

If the list isn't being populated, the method call should be set_popdown_strings(). If the list _is_ being populated, I remain clueless :I sorry. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ciprian Popovici [mailto:ciprian@zuavra.net] > Sent: 07 June 2004 19:02 > To: php-gtk-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-GTK] GtkCombo > > > On Mon, 7 Jun 2004 14:55:56 +0100 "Rhys Campbell" > <rhys.campbell@da-systems.co.uk> wrote: > > Having a little problem with a combo box.
