GtkComboBoxText as GtkBuildable

The GtkComboBoxText implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports adding items directly using the <items> element and specifying <item> elements for each item. Each <item> element can specify the “id” corresponding to the appended text and also supports the regular translation attributes “translatable”, “context” and “comments”.

Here is a UI definition fragment specifying GtkComboBoxText items:

<object class="GtkComboBoxText">
  <items>
    <item translatable="yes" id="factory">Factory</item>
    <item translatable="yes" id="home">Home</item>
    <item translatable="yes" id="subway">Subway</item>
  </items>
</object>

gtk_combo_box_text_append ()

void
gtk_combo_box_text_append (GtkComboBoxText *combo_box,
