It's more powerful and has much more functions that would save you tons of work if you want to do similar things using php-gtk1. For example, php-gtk2 has GtkComboBoxEntry, in addition to GtkComboBox. The main difference is that GtkComboBoxEntry allow users to enter values that not present in the selection list. The user can choose and modify existing value, or enter a completely new one. (This is very similar to that of a browser in which you can type in a new url, or select from the list of urls that you have entered before. or you can select then modify from there.) Note that although the names are very similar, the setting up and processing of GtkComboBox and GtkComboBoxEntry is surprisingly quite different! It's much simplier for GtkComboBoxEntry. For those who wish to try out GtkComboBoxEntry, here's a sample code to produce the following output: http://127.0.0.1/php-gtk2/gif/0025.gif $window = &new GtkWindow(); $window->connect_simple('destroy', array( 'Gtk', 'main_quit')); $window->set_size_request(400,150); $window->add($vbox = new GtkVBox()); // display title $title = new GtkLabel("Setup and read value from ComboBox"); $title->modify_font(new PangoFontDescription("Times New Roman Italic 10")); $title->modify_fg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, GdkColor::parse("#0000ff")); $title->set_size_request(-1, 60); $vbox->pack_start($title, 0, 0); // the selection $list = array('item 1', 'item 2', 'item 3', 'item 4'); $vbox->pack_start($hbox=new GtkHBox(), 0, 0); $hbox->pack_start(new GtkLabel('Select: '), 0, 0); // Create a new comboboxentry and populates it $combobox = &GtkComboBoxEntry::new_text(); foreach($list as $choice) { $combobox->append_text($choice); } $combobox->get_child()->set_text(''); // note 1 $hbox->pack_start($combobox, 0, 0); // Set up the submit butotn $hbox->pack_start($button = new GtkLabel(' '), 0, 0); $hbox->pack_start($button = new GtkButton('Submit'), 0, 0); $button->set_size_request(60, 24); // Set up the event handler to respond to button click $button->connect('clicked', "on_button", $combobox); //note 2 // The callback function that is called when user clicks the submit button function on_button($button, $combobox) { $selection = $combobox->get_child()->get_text(); // note 3 print "You have selected: $selection\n"; } $window->show_all(); Gtk::main(); http://127.0.0.1/php-gtk2/articles/setup-and-process-GtkComboBoxEntry.php More explanations here... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/gtk-read-result-of-combobox-tf2290752.html#a6381161 Sent from the Php - GTK - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
