Explanation

The above example makes use of the code in How to use GtkCellRendererCombo - Part 3 - process user selection?.

What's new here:

  1. Set up user-defined cell-display function on the GtkCellRendererCombo.
  2. Populate the pulldown list. In this example, we simply populate the pulldown list with 4 values: the qty, qty*10, qty*100 and qty*1000. In your actual application, you can populate these with values from mysql database.
