[Gtk-sharp-list] Set item in ComboBox (novice in GTK#)

[Rafael Teixeira]

Oi Paulinho,

cbFiltro.Active = 1; // index (pt_BR: apenas por posição) zero-based.

Property ActiveText has only the 'get' acessor (so it is readonly), so...

In order to select by value you'll need to iterate through the
ListStore searching for it (as it may have been reordered) and
counting up to find it's positional index.

<rant>
Sometimes I miss WinForms Combos' simplicity when dealing with GTK#
versions'  flexibility that normally means larger, and more complex,
code.
</rant>

:)
