gtk:combo-box-text-active-text (combo)

combo -- a gtk:combo-box-text widget

The string containing the currently active text.

Returns the currently active text in the combo box, or nil if none is selected. If the combo box contains an entry, this function will return its contents which will not necessarily be an item from the list. The gtk:combo-box-text implementation is deprecated since 4.10. Use the gtk:drop-down widget instead.
