Types

Constructing and adding objects

builderNew :: IO BuilderSource

Creates a new Builder object.

builderAddFromFile :: Builder -> FilePath -> IO ()Source

Parses a file containing a GtkBuilder UI definition and merges it with the current contents of the Builder.

  • If an error occurs, the computation will throw an exception that can be caught using e.g. catchGErrorJust and one of the error codes in BuilderError.

builderAddFromString :: Builder -> String -> IO ()Source

Parses a string containing a GtkBuilder UI definition and merges it with the current contents of the Builder.

  • If an error occurs, the computation will throw an exception that can be caught using e.g. catchGErrorJust and one of the error codes in BuilderError.

builderAddObjectsFromFileSource

Arguments

:: Builder 
-> FilePath 
-> [String]

Object IDs

-> IO () 

Parses a file containing a GtkBuilder UI definition building only the requested objects and merges them with the current contents of the Builder.

  • If an error occurs, the computation will throw an exception that can be caught using e.g. catchGErrorJust and one of the error codes in BuilderError.

builderAddObjectsFromStringSource

Arguments

:: Builder 
-> String 
-> [String]

Object IDs

-> IO () 

Parses a string containing a GtkBuilder UI definition building only the requested objects and merges them with the current contents of the Builder.

  • If an error occurs, the computation will throw an exception that can be caught using e.g. catchGErrorJust and one of the error codes in BuilderError.

Retrieving objects

builderGetObjectSource

Arguments

:: GObjectClass cls 
=> Builder 
-> (GObject -> cls)

A dynamic cast function which returns an object of the expected type, eg castToButton

-> String 
-> IO cls 

Gets the object with the given name, with a conversion function. Note that this computation does not increment the reference count of the returned object.

If the object with the given ID is not of the requested type, an exception will be thrown.

builderGetObjects :: Builder -> IO [GObject]Source

Gets all objects that have been constructed by builder. Note that this computation does not increment the reference counts of the returned objects.

builderGetObjectRaw :: Builder -> String -> IO (Maybe GObject)Source

Gets the object with the given name. Note that this computation does not increment the reference count of the returned object.

builderSetTranslationDomain :: Builder -> Maybe String -> IO ()Source

Sets the translation domain of the Builder.

builderGetTranslationDomain :: Builder -> IO (Maybe String)Source

Gets the translation domain of the Builder.
