bind


Description:

[ Version ( since = "2.26" ) ]
public void bind (string key, Object object, string property, SettingsBindFlags flags)

Create a binding between the key in the this object and the property property of object.

The binding uses the default GIO mapping functions to map between the settings and property values. These functions handle booleans, numeric types and string types in a straightforward way. Use bind_with_mapping if you need a custom mapping, or map between types that are not supported by the default mapping functions.

Unless the flags include g_settings_bind_no_sensitivity, this function also establishes a binding between the writability of key and the "sensitive" property of object (if object has a boolean property by that name). See bind_writable for more details about writable bindings.

Note that the lifecycle of the binding is tied to object, and that you can have only one binding per object property. If you bind the same property twice on the same object, the second binding overrides the first one.

Parameters:

this

a Settings object

key

the key to bind

object

a Object

property

the name of the property to bind

flags

flags for the binding
