Iirc, these functions only work if you already have added at least a single item in the ComboBox Items in Glade. A 'None' would suffice.

Still, this should be used with caution - not all glade versions behave like this appearently. I'm on a Ubuntu Intrepid Glade 3.4.5. Initially, I have my empty combobox (excerpt form .glade file): True Then I add an item and save: True foobar and remove the property again and save: True This, the "items" property completely disappered. However, when I manually modify the glade file in the way you described by applying your patch (well, manually): True and load that glade-File in my version of glade and save it again immediately: True However, one must be careful with such a version of glade as mine not to click on the "items" button and click OK, as the property "items" then disappears again when the Glade file is saved. It is unfortunate, in my opionion, that this behaviour obviously differs between versions of Glade.

Apparently after entering something in Glade, the liststore etc are
generated. And by removing these items, it keeps these.
Sadly, my version of Glade does not generate the XML the way you
described when I do it the way you described :-(
I guess I'll stick with Walter's solution then. It's just very very
confusing for a GTK beginner to have to do such low-level tasks in order
to perform such a relatively simple and common thing.
Kind regards and thanks for your help,

And so I learn something new! On a hunch, I compared a Glade file with
an empty (unaltered) combo box and a combo box with its "Items" field
"changed". I put the "changed" in quotes, because what I did was add a
character and delete it again, so no text was really added. It turns out
that the output XML differs by one line that defines an "items" property
(see attached comboboxes.diff).
The inclusion of that "items" property causes the created ComboBox to be
initialized (ListStore and CellRendererText created and correctly
associated with the ComboBox). In fact you can use the *_text() methods
with such an "initialized" ComboBox!
I've attached my test program and Glade file as well.
This is certainly a new discovery for me and should make it much simpler
to work with simple ComboBoxes.

Ah, ok. This really confused me, but your explanation makes it clearer.
Thanks for your example code which helped me get me a little bit more of
a grasp on what I'm actually doing here.
I guess the problem is not pyGTK, but GTK here. pyGTK for those calls
servers merely as a passing to the C layer of GTK - which is indeed
pretty complicated and unintuitive.
Ah, I just hope I'll get there at some point. GTK is just really pretty
and portable, and IMHO the best window kit there is.
Kind regards,
Johannes

Re: [pygtk] Selecting and moving objects on a layout
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 We recently spent a lot of time looking at these canvas's. Many of them seem quite dead in the water. Goocanvas (and pygoocanvas) is quite easy to use but requires all sorts of binary packaging issues. (I.E. Ubuntu's distributed package is quite out of date, which means it's useless). And there's no Win32 Python 2.6 package, which makes it hard to write portable stuff. At least not that we found. Maybe there's one somewhere? Then we found a pure Python LGPL canvas that seems quite great: gaphas. (It's referenced at the bottom of the Project Ridley page). IMHO it'd be great if PyGTK came with a canvas like gaphas.
