Hi,
I'm trying to create a combobox object than can be sized smaller than the
text. What is the best way to go about doing this?
For example, with the code below, the width is fixed at the value needed for
the max length string. But I would like to allow it to shrink to a smaller
width, in which case the displayed text might show "Select a ...", then
"Sele...", and finally "...". An example of this behavior would be the
status combo box at the bottom of the main window in Pidgin / Gaim.
Thanks,
Casey

class ComboBoxExample:
def __init__(self):
window = gtk.Window()
window.connect('destroy', lambda w: gtk.main_quit())
combobox = gtk.combo_box_new_text()
window.add(combobox)
combobox.append_text('Select a pie:')
combobox.append_text('Apple')
combobox.append_text('Cherry')
combobox.append_text('Blueberry')
combobox.append_text('Grape')
combobox.append_text('Peach')
combobox.append_text('Raisin')
combobox.connect('changed', self.changed_cb)
combobox.set_active(0)
window.show_all()
return
def changed_cb(self, combobox):
model = combobox.get_model()
index = combobox.get_active()
if index:
print 'I like', model[index][0], 'pie'
return
def main():
gtk.main()
return
if __name__ == "__main__":
bcb = ComboBoxExample()
main()
