Hello!

I am trying to create a GUI on Julia using GTK and I wanted to know if anyone knows how to add a combo box or drop down widget to a window.

Many Thanks!

but I usually use Glade simplifying things a lot: [http://juliagraphics.github.io/Gtk.jl/latest/manual/builder.html#Builder-and-Glade-1](http://juliagraphics.github.io/Gtk.jl/latest/manual/builder.html#Builder-and-Glade-1)

With that approach you basically never need to create Widgets in Julia. Just implement the callbacks.
