[20:7] extends: object
An interface for widgets that have their own [class@Gdk.Surface]. The obvious
example of a GtkNative is GtkWindow. Every widget that is not itself a
GtkNative is contained in one, and you can get it with
[method@Gtk.Widget.get_native]. To get the surface of a GtkNative, use
[method@Gtk.Native.get_surface]. It is also possible to find the GtkNative
to which a surface belongs, with [func@Gtk.Native.get_for_surface]. In
addition to a [class@Gdk.Surface], a GtkNative also provides a
[class@Gsk.Renderer] for rendering on that surface. To get the renderer, use
[method@Gtk.Native.get_renderer].
Native (Handle = null)
Creates a new
Nativeby wrapping a native handle or another wrapper.
Handle is the native handle or another wrapper whose handle to adopt.toNativeHandle (Source)
Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from
fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposinghandle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.getLib ()
Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
The opened native library.handle ()
Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
The wrapped NativeHandle.isNull ()
Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
A bool.describe ()
Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
A string.get_renderer ()
Returns the renderer that is used for this
GtkNative.
get_surface ()
Returns the surface of this
GtkNative.
realize ()
