public class TextComboBoxEntry
- extends ComboBoxEntry
A ComboBoxEntry with a simplified API for displaying and extracting
Strings. 
When dealing
with ComboBoxEntries you usually get the Entry child Widget and hook up to
its methods and signals. Our text-only variant, however, has methods
allowing you to quickly manipulate the list of options and to get the
currently selected one.
As with the parent ComboBoxEntry, if you want what is actually in
the Entry, you will have to pull the Entry out to ask it.
These are indeed the same convenience methods as found in the text-only
API of GtkComboBox, which we have split into
ComboBox and TextComboBox.

TextComboBoxEntry
public TextComboBoxEntry()
- Construct a new text-only ComboBoxEntry.
- Since:
- 4.0.6
appendText
public void appendText(String text)
- Append an item to the list.
- Since:
- 4.0.6
getActiveText
public String getActiveText()
- Returns the text of the active item.
If the TextComboBoxEntry is showing the result of the user having
selected an item from the list, or the developer has called
setActive(), then this will be equal to the result of
calling:
e = (Entry) combo.getChild();
e.getText();
but beware that if the user hasn't caused one of the existing
options to be picked and has instead entered their own data, then this
won't match what is in the Entry.
- Since:

- Since:
