How to set width of GtkComboBoxText?

Question

I have GtkComboBoxText in which first Item text is small and last item Text is too long. Because of the long Text width set to long text length. I want to set its width to small text length. How do I achieve this ?

I was trying to to set it through Glade. But didn't find any option. I tried set_wrap_width () but it's not helping. — Sagar, Apr 30 '14 at 08:42

Unfortunately set_wrap_width() doesn't seem to have anything to do with controlling the width of the widget. I think you want to set the width-chars and possibly the wrap-width or ellipsize & ellpisize-set properties of the cell renderer that the combo box uses to display the items in it. You can get a list of the renderers (there should only be one item in the list for a simple GtkComboBoxText) with get_cells() and then find the GtkCellRendererText and set the properties that you want on it.
