Gtk2_IndexedComboBox is a Gtk2 widget similar
to the HTML select box
- it lets you not only store values as the normal
GtkComboBox, but associated key/value pairs.
Gtk2_IndexedComboBox is meant to be as easy to
use as possible, and to have an API similar to the combo boxes
created with GtkComboBox::new_text().
You can directly add key/value pairs to the widget instead of using
the model (which is possible, too). Retrieving the currently selected
key can be done with a single method call.
Both keys and values can be strings, thus allowing integers implicitly.
This is very useful if you need a widget to select some row ID from a
database, but want to display some descriptive string. By default,
a single GtkCellRendererText is used as
cell renderer.
