I "solved" it by redesigning my application -- I got rid of the ComboBoxEntry and just use an Entry with an EntryCompletion. This is a lot easier to use than a drop-down box with hundreds of entries. Fortunately, my users (both of them!) know what they are going to enter, so they don't need to see every choice in advance. As for the 2nd question, I now check the text after it is entered. This is more sensible for my application -- if something is entered that isn't on the list, it probably should be added to the list. Sorry -- none of this probably helps you much :-( Harry. ___ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/

As far as I understand from the SWIG documentation C/C++ > wrapped pointers are represented as strings in python. So what can > I do? [...] Hi Alex, To avoid the "pointers as strings" symptom, you have to use SWIG's type mappings to convert between a GtkWidget* and a Python type. You also have to use and integrate the PyGTK infrastructure so that your widget can be used from Python as other widgets. This should work with C++ as it works with C. As example of what I did (a long time ago, this was with Gtk 1.2 / PyGTK 0.6.x and swig 1.1), look at http://www.fcoutant.freesurf.fr/python-cschtml.html http://www.fcoutant.freesurf.fr/python-gdkpixbuf.html which should give you ideas about what SWIG can do for you, and what it can't. I strongly advise you carefully read its manual, so that you fully understand what you are doing (SWIG is quite obscure otherwise :). The packages there are quite old. The way to wrap Gtk widgets using PyGtk may have changed with Python2.3 / PyGTK 2.x / Swig 1.3. I just didn't look. It *may* be useful to you as a start point. Alternatively you could use PyGtk 2.x code generator so that your widget looks from Python as an object/class and its methods. For this you *may* have first to write C wrappers for your C++ class' methods, since PyGtk will only call C functions... -- Hope this helps, Fabien. ___ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/

Any help would be appreciated,
I think you have to retrieve the help menu and set it to be right
justified, for example:
helpmenu = uimanager.get_widget('/Menubar/HelpMenu')
helpmenu.set_right_justifed(True)
where '/Menubar/HelpMenu' is the path to the help menu in uimanager.

We don't use Swig for generating the pygtk wrappers. There are tools in the pygtk tarball in the codegen directory. Regards, Xavier. -- "Complexity has nothing to do with intelligence.

[pygtk] spreadsheet widget
Hello everyone, I am looking for some kind of spreadsheet widget that can display my data, which is stored in a numarray matrix (rows x columns). Is there any widget available to display a spreadsheet? Or would I simply use a TreeView/ListStore and use appropriate cell-renderers? If so, are there editable CellRenderers?
