Subject: Re: Fetching gtkmm custom css style properties
To: Mohith Manoj
Oh, sorry.
What you want is not Object.get_property but rather StyleContext.get, but
the latter is not wrapped in gtkmm yet.
So you
viola... that gets the wheel rolling.
*gtk_style_context_get* works. However, there are only 10 style properties
defined in gtkstylecontext.h that we can retrieve this way and not all the
style properties listed in Gtk-Inspector. For example there is a single
definition for border radius as,
you can just type any property name though. the argument is just a string.
the symbols in the header are just macros and not exhaustive.
glad to help. have fun!

Of course... get_color() works as we have seen in the example code. But to
get a property like 'border-top-left-radius' or 'border-right-color' there
is no direct API and we are dependent on something like
Gtk::StyleContext::get_style_property, but since this doesn't work we have
our hunting hat
Sorry I felt a bit dumb at this point, so I though I'll try all
combinations. Following code is executed on a button press from a custom
widget derived from Gtk::ToggleButton.
int nValue;
Glib::RefPtr refStyleContext = get_style_context();
refStyleContext->get_property("color",
it doesnt work because those are CSS properties, which are not widget style
properties.
use get_property("css-prop-name", dst_value)
