NAME

       Gtk2::ComboBoxEntry - A text entry field with a dropdown list

SYNOPSIS

         # the easy way
         $combo_box_entry = Gtk2::ComboBoxEntry->new_text;
         foreach (qw(one two three four five)) {
             $combo_box_entry->append_text ($_);
         }

         # or the powerful way.  there always has to be at least
         # one text column in the model, but you can have anything
         # else in it that you want, just like Gtk2::ComboBox.
         $combo_box_entry = Gtk2::ComboBoxEntry->new ($model, $text_index);

         # to mess with with entry directly, get the child:
         $current_text = $combo_box_entry->child->get_text;

DESCRIPTION

       A ComboBoxEntry is a widget that allows the user to choose from a list of valid choices or
       enter a different value.  It is very similar to a ComboBox, but displays the selected
       value in an entry to allow modifying it.

       The ComboBoxEntry has a Gtk2::Entry as its child.  To get or set the currently-displayed
       text, just manipulate the entry normally.
