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.

Re: [pygtk] which widget
Hi Robert, Thanks! It's difficult to decise how the user should be "alerted" of the fact the input isn't valid. I was looking for an app that does rouglly the same. But I only found one and that implementation doesn't really work well :) A colleague of mine does some interface designing occasionally. I think I'll ask him tomorrow how he thinks about that.

Well, your signal handler will know what value the user has typed. Simply check if that value exists in your liststore, and if it doesn't, there's any number of things you could do. You could: refocus the combobox when the user tries to focus away from it, discard any invalid entry the user has typed, display an error dialog instructing the user to type something else instead. You just have to be careful to balance your need to have the input validated with the users need to not be overly hassled with cumbersome restrictions on their interaction with the program. -- http://exolucere.ca ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/

Re: [pygtk] which widget
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.

Well, you'd have to attach a signal handler to your comboboxentry, and in the handler you'd define all your fuzzy matching logic. -- http://exolucere.ca ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/

Nevermind, I found this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2250477/entry-with-suggestions So my questions now becomes: how can I (combobox)entry with suggestions and force it to be one of the entries in the ListStore?
