This ComboBox prints to the terminal your selection when you change it.

Code used to generate this example class MyWindow : Gtk.ApplicationWindow { string[] file = {"Select", "New", "Open", "Save"}; string[] stock_item = {"","gtk-new", "gtk-open", "gtk-save"}; enum Column { FILE, STOCK_ITEM } /* Constructor */ internal MyWindow (MyApplication app) { Object (application: app, title: "Welcome to GNOME"); this.set_default_size (200, -1); this.border_width = 10; Gtk.ListStore liststore = new Gtk.ListStore (2, typeof (string), typeof (string)); for (int i = 0; i < file.length; i++){ Gtk.TreeIter iter; liststore.append (out iter); liststore.set (iter, Column.FILE, file[i]); liststore.set (iter, Column.STOCK_ITEM, stock_item[i]); } Gtk.ComboBox combobox = new Gtk.ComboBox.with_model (liststore); /* CellRenderers render the data. */ Gtk.CellRendererText cell = new Gtk.CellRendererText (); Gtk.CellRendererPixbuf cell_pb = new Gtk.CellRendererPixbuf (); /* we pack the cell into the beginning of the combobox, allocating * no more space than needed; * first the image, then the text; * note that it does not matter in which order they are in the model, * the visualization is decided by the order of the cellrenderers */ combobox.pack_start (cell_pb, false); combobox.pack_start (cell, false); /* associate a property of the cellrenderer to a column in the model * used by the combobox */ combobox.set_attributes (cell_pb, "stock_id", Column.STOCK_ITEM); combobox.set_attributes (cell, "text", Column.FILE); /* Set the first item in the list to be selected (active). */ combobox.set_active (0); /* Connect the 'changed' signal of the combobox * to the signal handler (aka. callback function). */ combobox.changed.connect (this.item_changed); /* Add the combobox to this window */ this.add (combobox); combobox.show (); } void item_changed (Gtk.ComboBox combo) { if (combo.get_active () !=0) { print ("You chose " + file [combo.get_active ()] +"\n"); } } } class MyApplication : Gtk.Application { protected override void activate () { new MyWindow (this).show (); } } int main (string[] args) { return new MyApplication ().run (args); }
