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
