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.
