Method

GtkBuilderadd_from_string

Declaration [src]

gboolean
gtk_builder_add_from_string (
  GtkBuilder* builder,
  const char* buffer,
  gssize length,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

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

This function is useful if you need to call gtk_builder_set_current_object() to add user data to callbacks before loading GtkBuilder UI. Otherwise, you probably want gtk_builder_new_from_string() instead.

Upon errors FALSE will be returned and error will be assigned a GError from the GTK_BUILDER_ERROR, G_MARKUP_ERROR or G_VARIANT_PARSE_ERROR domain.

It’s not really reasonable to attempt to handle failures of this call. The only reasonable thing to do when an error is detected is to call g_error().

Parameters

buffer

Type: const char*

The string to parse.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
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 an error.

The argument can be NULL.
The argument will be set to NULL by the function if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set and the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE on success, FALSE if an error occurred.
