<p>To discover what item, if any, the user has chosen from the ComboBox, call <code class="methodname">ComboBox::get_active()</code>. This returns a <code class="classname">TreeModel::iterator</code> that you can dereference to a <code class="classname">Row</code> in order to read the values in your columns. For instance, you might read an integer ID value from the model, even though you have chosen only to show the human-readable description in the ComboBox. For instance:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><code class="code">Gtk::TreeModel::iterator iter = m_Combo.get_active();
if(iter)
{
  auto row = *iter;

  //Get the data for the selected row, using our knowledge
  //of the tree model:
  auto id = row[m_Columns.m_col_id];
  set_something_id_chosen(id); //Your own function.
}
else
  set_nothing_chosen(); //Your own function.</code></pre>
