There's always gtk.org - but beware, the docs are huge, complex and 
often less than helpful.
Ask here first :)

The combo control is editable, unless you turn it off.
Is that what you need?

I'm not certain, since I haven't seen EuGrid. But if it is a 
multi-column list which can contain other controls, such as buttons, 
checkboxes, pictures, etc, then that capability is built into the 
GTK 2 list and tree views.

Because the list and tree view controls are based on a 
MVC scheme, using them is not as easy as I would like. Give me 
an example of what you'd like to do, and I'll try to build a demo.
