Re: [Vala] Cannot convert from `Gtk.ComboBoxText.get_active_text' to `string'

Note 1: If get_active_text is a PROPERTY instead of a FUNCTION, your
code would have been ok.

Note 2: Much often, getter/setter functions also have a corresponding
property doing the same job. Use whatever you like.

Hi Sascha,

> doctype = cboDocType.get_active_text;

You are assigning a function (a delegate, means a pointer to a function)
to an string, thats not possible, use

  doctype = cboDocType.get_active_text();

instead (parantheses on right side) to CALL the get_active_text()
function, which returns a string.

[Jonathan Moerman]

get_active_text looks like a method  to me, did you try doctype =
cboDocType.get_active_text(); ?

Hello list,

i created a class what contains:

// Properties
public string doctype { get; set; }

// GUI Elements
[GtkChild] private Gtk.ComboBoxText cboDocType;

// on_cboDocType_changed gets the chosen document type
[GtkCallback]
private void on_cboDocType_changed () {
doctype = cboDocType.get_active_text;
}

The compiler says:
ui/create_publication.vala:45.2-45.37: error: Assignment: Cannot convert
from `Gtk.ComboBoxText.get_active_text' to `string'
doctype = cboDocType.get_active_text;


But as far as i know the combobox text is a string. So it should work.

What can i do?

Greetings
Sascha
