Declaration [src]

gboolean
gtk_builder_extend_with_template (
  GtkBuilder* builder,
  GObject* object,
  GType template_type,
  const char* buffer,
  gssize length,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Main private entry point for building composite components from template XML.

Most likely you do not need to call this function in applications as templates are handled by GtkWidget.

Parameters

object

Type: GObject

The object that is being extended.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
template_type

Type: GType

The type that the template is for.

buffer

Type: const char*

The string to parse.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
length

Type: gssize

The length of buffer (may be -1 if buffer is nul-terminated)

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

A positive value on success, 0 if an error occurred.
