hey.

Does anybody know how to set the default text within a combobox?

example:

Code: (Plaintext)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7	widget->combo = gtk_combo_box_new_text (); gtk_combo_box_append_text (GTK_COMBO_BOX (widget->combo), "option1"); gtk_combo_box_append_text (GTK_COMBO_BOX (widget->combo), "option2"); gtk_combo_box_append_text (GTK_COMBO_BOX (widget->combo), "option3");

is there a function i can use to set the default text of combo box as "option1" so when i compile and run my code, "option1" will be visible in the combo box rather than it just being empty.

Thanks :)

a good reference for all widgets and items can be found here:
