Interface

GtkBuildable

Description [src] 

interface Gtk.Buildable : GObject.Object

GtkBuildable allows objects to extend and customize their deserialization from [GtkBuilder UI descriptions][BUILDER-UI]. The interface includes methods for setting names and properties of objects, parsing custom tags and constructing child objects.

The GtkBuildable interface is implemented by all widgets and many of the non-widget objects that are provided by GTK+. The main user of this interface is GtkBuilder. There should be very little need for applications to call any of these functions directly.

An object only needs to implement this interface if it needs to extend the GtkBuilder format or run any extra routines at deserialization time.

Prerequisite

In order to implement Buildable, your type must inherit fromGObject.

Implementations

Instance methods

gtk_buildable_add_child

Adds a child to buildable. type is an optional string describing how the child should be added.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_construct_child

Constructs a child of buildable with the name name.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_custom_finished

This is similar to gtk_buildable_parser_finished() but is called once for each custom tag handled by the buildable.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_custom_tag_end

This is called at the end of each custom element handled by the buildable.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_custom_tag_start

This is called for each unknown element under <child>.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_get_internal_child

Get the internal child called childname of the buildable object.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_get_name

Gets the name of the buildable object.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_parser_finished

Called when the builder finishes the parsing of a [GtkBuilder UI definition][BUILDER-UI]. Note that this will be called once for each time gtk_builder_add_from_file() or gtk_builder_add_from_string() is called on a builder.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_set_buildable_property

Sets the property name name to value on the buildable object.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_set_name

Sets the name of the buildable object.

since: 2.12

}

The GtkBuildableIface interface contains method that are necessary to allow GtkBuilder to construct an object from a GtkBuilder UI definition.
