[Gtk-sharp-list] ComboBox Items Don't Display

[Jim Orcheson]

Krzysztof's answer to a different post (http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/gtk-sharp-list/2011-June/010734.html) led me to the solution. To ensure consistent display of the data in a ComboBox, I need to add a CellRenderer. So, the code should look like this:

		public CBWindow() : base("ComboBox Test")
		{
			store = new ListStore(typeof(string));
			
			ComboBox cb = new ComboBox();
			cb.WidthRequest = 100;
			CellRendererText ct = new CellRendererText();
			cb.PackStart(ct, false);
			cb.AddAttribute(ct, "text", 0);
			cb.Model = store;
			store.AppendValues("A");
			store.AppendValues("B");
			store.AppendValues("C");
			VBox vbox = new VBox();
			vbox.Add(cb);
			
			this.Add(vbox);
		}
