Re: Trigger a GtkEntryCompletion's popup

[Daniel Kasak <d j kasak dk gmail com>]

I had issues with GtkComboBoxText last time I tried it, though admittedly that was a long time back. Anyway, yes I'm aware of these widgets, and use GtkComboBox regularly. I'll look into GtkComboBoxText again. But the question remains - is there a way to trigger the completion's popup?

Maybe you want a

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkComboBox.html
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkComboBoxText.html

with active entry widget (has-entry = TRUE) ?

So you can select from a list of text or enter own text.
