Hi Internally the GtkComboBox created with gtk_combo_box_new_text() uses a GtkListStore as it's "TreeModel". Just call gtk_combo_box_get_model() to get it. > I would like to loop around all items in the combo. model = gtk_combo_box_get_model( combo ); if( ! gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first( model, &iter ) ) return -1; // Empty list do { gtk_tree_model_get( model, &iter, 0, &combo_text, -1 ); g_free( combo_text ); } while( gtk_tree_model_iter_next( model, &iter ) ); HTH Jan-Marek _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
