But, I've always wondered - does it make any difference if you set the combo with GtkListItem instead of the simpler set_popdown_strings?

Hmmm.. interesting idea. Looks like it might be a problem with the GtkList() object. I tried the following to test your idea: $combo=&New GtkCombo(); $list=$combo->list; $listofitems=array(); for ($i=0; $i<3000; $i++)

       {
       $listitem=&New GtkListItem("Item Number $i");
       $listofitems[]=$listitem;

} $list->Append_Items($listofitems); $win=&New GtkWindow(); $win->Add($combo); $win->Show_All(); I got identical results. So, it looks like it's a problem with the GTKList() object. Has anybody got a fix? -Ben

Is PHP-GTK 1.x supported anymore? I've got a pretty stable codebase I'm nursing along for a while longer... Anyhow, when I create a large dataset for GtkCombo, it dies and won't display the list in the dropdown. The items are "there", in that you can use the arrow keys and scroll thru them, but they don't popdown anymore. Here's some sample code that recreates it, Windows 2000 + php 4.4.x. $popdown=array(); for ($i=0; $i<3000; $i++)

       $popdown[]="Item Number $i";

$combo=&New GtkCombo(); $combo->Set_Popdown_Strings($popdown); $win=&New GtkWindow(); $win->Add($combo); $win->Show_All(); What can I do about this? -Ben
