Buildable

Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "gtk_buildable_get_type ()" ) ]
public interface Buildable : Object

`GtkBuildable` allows objects to extend and customize their deserialization from ui files.

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 [class@Gtk.Builder]. 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` XML format or run any extra routines at deserialization time.

Methods:

public abstract void add_child (Builder builder, Object child, string? type)
Adds a child to this.
public abstract void custom_finished (Builder builder, Object? child, string tagname, void* data)
Similar to parser_finished but is called once for each custom tag handled by the this.
public abstract void custom_tag_end (Builder builder, Object? child, string tagname, void* data)
Called at the end of each custom element handled by the buildable.
public abstract bool custom_tag_start (Builder builder, Object? child, string tagname, out BuildableParser parser, out void* data)
Called for each unknown element under `<child>`.
public unowned string? get_buildable_id ()
Gets the ID of the this object.
public abstract unowned string get_id ()
The getter corresponding to set_id.
public abstract unowned Object get_internal_child (Builder builder, string childname)
Retrieves the internal child called childname of the this object.
public abstract void parser_finished (Builder builder)
Called when a builder finishes the parsing of a UI definition.
public abstract void set_buildable_property (Builder builder, string name, Value value)
Sets a property of a buildable object.
public abstract void set_id (string id)
Stores the id attribute given in the `GtkBuilder` UI definition.
