Description Daniel Elstner 2004-05-19 02:09:47 UTC 
I think it'd be nice to add a get_entry() method to Gtk::ComboBoxEntry in order
to avoid the need to dynamic_cast<> the result of Gtk::Bin::get_child().  This
would probably boil down to:

    _WRAP_METHOD(Entry* get_entry(), gtk_bin_get_child)

Not terribly important, though.
Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2004-05-25 19:12:13 UTC 
We would need to double-check that is _always an Entry, and maybe add the
function to GTK+.

When adding this to gtkmm, remember to add a const overload too.
Comment 2 Daniel Elstner 2004-05-25 19:22:52 UTC 
The GTK+ documentation explicitely states that one should use
gtk_bin_get_child() to get the GtkEntry.  I reckon such a function were rather
pointless in plain GTK+ since most of the time, you have to use explicit casts
anyway...
Comment 3 Murray Cumming 2004-10-06 12:12:48 UTC 
Yes, let's add this to gtkmm.
Comment 4 Murray Cumming 2004-10-09 19:48:16 UTC 
Done.
