I have two fields: combo1(a combo field) and dns (GTKentry).  I want
to use the value selected in combo1 to be used in association with a
tuplelist (tlys) to determine the value of dns.

Using the signal "add" on combo1 like this:
--------------------------------------------------
method on_combo1_add () = 
  let s = self#top_window1 in
  let server = s#combo1#entry#text in
    print_string server; print_newline(); (* This line for debugging *)
    s#dns#set_text (List.assoc server tlys)
----------------------------------------------------
Which results in 
-------------------------------------
ocamlc -c -labels -I +lablgtk -I /usr/lib/ocaml/pcre gtknw_glade_interface.ml
File "gtknw_glade_interface.ml", line 382, characters 9-15:
This expression has type GEdit.combo
It has no method connect
---------------------------------------------

I am not sure how to do it.  Must I rather get the signal from the
associated entry field (combined with combo1) or use another signal
form combo1?

Which signal? 

I have tried so far: activate (entry) "add" (combo), "insert_text"
(entry), "changed" (entry) without any success.

I would really appreciate some help.

Regards
Johann
