Description marxista 2004-11-16 23:04:37 UTC 
Currently the only way to remove text items is to manipulate the model and
upcast it to a Gtk::ListStore.  This would allow removing of text items without
exposing the implementation.
Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2004-11-17 08:22:23 UTC 
Yes. A patch would be welcome.
Comment 2 Murray Cumming 2005-01-25 09:12:37 UTC 
You can also use clear().
Comment 3 Murray Cumming 2005-02-01 17:03:03 UTC 
gtk_combo_box_remove_text() takes an int position, but we don't use numbered
positions in our API. Nor we do allow insertion at particular points. I think
it's OK to deman use of clear() and append() again.

For more complex uses, people should probaby derive their own GtkComboBox
anyway, instead of using this convenience class.

But feel free to suggest a patch.
