Hello guys, as part of my ongoing effort of bringing composite widgets to Gtk+ I finished implementing a new GtkBuilder API gtk_builder_expose_object() and added a new element to builder xml format <template>
>From gtk_builder_expose_object() documentation Adds object to a pool of objects external to the objects built by builder. Objects exposed in this pool can be referred to by xml fragments by specifying the "external-object" boolean attribute. To make this function even more useful a new special entry point element <template> is defined. It is similar to <object> with the only difference it can only be defined as a toplevel element (that is it has to be a child of <interface>) and its id has to reference an external object exposed with this function. This way you can change properties and even add children to an external object using builder and not just reference it. BTW there is a bug [1] in bugzilla to track these new features in builder and I there is also a blog post [2] showing a bit more of what can be accomplished using these new thing. Any comments?
