Set Gtk.ComboBoxText default item?
Question: I would like to make an item in my ComboBoxText the default value, instead of
a blank combo box until the user selects something. Apparently, this is set by
changing Active value in Glade to [the item I want to be default]. This does
not work.

Here is my code:

    
    
    #! /usr/bin/env python3
    
    from gi.repository import Gtk
    
    builder = Gtk.Builder()
    
    builder.add_from_file("./personalinfo.ui")
    
    win = builder.get_object("window")
    cancel = builder.get_object("cancel")
    ok = builder.get_object("ok")
    
    win.set_title("Persona")
    
    win.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
    cancel.connect("clicked", Gtk.main_quit)
    ok.connect("clicked", Gtk.main_quit)
    
    win.show_all()
    
    Gtk.main()
    

Here is the combo box in Glade:

Answer: This is actually a bug in Glade. You can manually set this by using:

    
    
    combo.set_active(int) # 1st item is 0, 2nd is 1 and such.
