Gtk2::E...::Combo(3)

💖 Gtk2::E...::Combo(3) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for Gtk2::E...::Combo(3), from the ✨ User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨ collection. Pull up a chair, grab a boba, we're learning about Combo boxes together and honestly? It's giving cozy. 🧋🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Combo — a Combo in a FormFactory framework 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Combo->new (
  presets => List reference of preset values,
  ...
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget attributes
);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. constructor, presets, some widget attributes, slay. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this class is literally a text entry with a popdown list of presets, living its best life inside a Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory framework. 🌈

And the way it works? The content of the entry is the value of the associated application object attribute. Like, the entry and the attribute are the same thing. No cap. They're bonded fr fr. 👑

👑 OBJECT HIERARCHY 👑

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Intro

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget
+--- Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Combo

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Layout
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Rules
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Proxy

look at that little +--- branching off. main character energy, honestly. ✨

💅 ATTRIBUTES 💅

Attributes are handled through the common get_ATTR(), set_ATTR() style accessors — classic — but heads up bestie: they're mostly passed once to the object constructor and must not be altered after the associated FormFactory was built. Like, once it's built, it's built. Leave it alone. 🙈

• presets = LIST REF [optional] — You may specify a static list of preset values for the Combo with this attribute. And if preset is not set? Then you need to implement the get_ATTR_presets method, as explained below 👇 (they say "beyond", we say "right down there").

---

🎀 REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSOCIATED APPLICATION OBJECTS 🎀

Application objects represented by a Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Combo may define additional methods. The naming of the methods listed beyond uses the standard get_ prefix for the attribute read accessor. And ATTR needs to be replaced by the actual name of the attribute associated with the widget. iykyk. 💜

• get_ATTR_presets — This method must return a reference to an array containing the presets for this Combo box — but must be implemented only if you didn't specify a static presets list using the presets attribute. So it's one or the other, bestie. Pick your fighter. 🥊

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:

Around line 167:

Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in 'Jörn'. Assuming UTF-8

not the ö catching strays 😭 it's a perfectly good letter, the POD parser is just being dramatic. 🙈
