Using pygtk and glade2

[j_mckitrick]

I am having a problem with combo boxes. If I am using an XML glade2
file for my gui definition, what is the command I need to use to
access a given combo box and determine the currently selected item?

That's easy: text = combo.entry.get_text()
More info here:

Getting the selected item in an option menu is much more difficult:

Examples are always good:

That's easy: text = combo.entry.get_text()

But when I use

self.wTree.get_widget('Combo').entry.get_text()

it tells me

gtk.Bin does not have attribute 'entry'

Hang on, gtk.Bin isn't even in the combo hierarchy?

Are you sure you've got the correct widget?

I clicked on it in Glade2, and the property window said 'combobox1'.
Then I added the signal and built the app. This is the same thing I
did with 'comboentrybox'.
