Yeah, but how should I for it to always be on the entries in the ListStore?
Because now one can type anything in the combobxEntry. A user could type
something, ignore the suggestions and move the focus to another widget. How
should I deal with this situations? For example, an on_update handler which
checks if the entry in the comboBoxEntry exists in the liststore. If it doesn't
exist: remove the entry. But that doesn't seem really user friendly.
Have a look at http://www.astro.umass.edu/~dpopowich/python/ for the
thing called ValidatedEntry.
While it is not a solution to your problem, it does have hooks in place
to prevent the user from leaving the entry until the data entered is
valid, .. I believe it's this functionality that you are looking for
your combo box, to stop the user leaving the combo box till they have
selected a valid entry from your liststore.
There is a demo inside the download, but usage of the demo is not so
intuitive, you need to do through the code to understand what your are
meant to do.
It might give you enough ideas to cobble up something useful.
Also I notice this http://www.gtkforums.com/about4619.html which may be
more applicable to what your asking.
