Problem This very interesting and useful sample code is contributed by Andre Colomb.
In Part 1, you have set up the treeview such that the options of the pulldown menu are displayed with different background color.
However, one "problem" is that after the options are selected, the background color disappeared when you move the cursor to other rows.
Suppose you would like the background color to stay after the options are made as shown below.
Solution
- To make the background color of the options stay, we achieve this in the cell display function of the base treeview (as oppose to that of the combobox).

Explanation The above cocde is based on How to use GtkCellRendererCombo - Part 3 - process user selection?
What's new here:
- Check if this the combobox column (col 4).
- Get the value selected by the user.
- Get the corresponding color. We use the "@" here to suppress any warnings - when no value is selected yet by the user.
- If there is a color defined for the selected value, set it as the background color instead of the default background color.
Note
- If you run the above script, you will see the error
Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_cell_view_set_cell_data: assertion `cell_view->priv->displayed_row != NULL' failed
- This is caused by the statement
$renderers = $cellview->get_cell_renderers()
(Note 5).
- I'm not sure if this is a bug. Or it's just that PHP-GTK2 doesn't like us to get access to this cellrenderer, whcih is supposed to be used internally.
- Anyway, it seems that this is just a warning. The script runs fine, though.
