Question about gtk.ComboBoxEntry

Ruby
1

hello there all,

i cannot seem to find how to set the active text in a gtk.ComboBoxEntry.
i can populate it with a list of items using the append_text(item)
method.
but i cannot seem to find how to actually set the item i want to be
active.

thanks for any tips

look in the superclass:
Gtk::ComboBox.set_active( index )

but you have to work out index yourself, rather than passing in
the text item.
