[Gtk-sharp-list] Drop-down list

[Chris Wilson]

You probably want attach a ListStore to the ComboBox' Model. The gives
you a way to attach a list store with 2 columns to the ComboBox: one
for an index into your ArrayList and the other to display.  You can
then get the active row and use the index column in the ListView to
get into the Array.

Take a look at the tutorial for using the TreeView at:
http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp_TreeView_Tutorial

It will show you how to setup a ListStore (The one-dimension version
of the TreeStore).

Hope that point you in the right direction.
