The interface includes methods for setting names and properties of objects, parsing custom tags, and constructing child objects. The Gtk2::Buildable interface is implemented by all widgets and many of the non-widget objects that are provided by GTK+. The main user of this interface is Gtk2::Builder, so there should be very little need for applications to call any of the Gtk2::Buildable methods. So, instead of focusing on how to call the methods of a Gtk2::Buildable, this documentation deals with implementing a buildable object. =head1 WIDGETS Since Gtk2::Widget implements the Gtk2::Buildable interface, all widgets get buildability gratis. If your widget requires no special markup syntax to express its configuration, and all properties can be handled through the standard mechanisms, you can simply add the name of your perl-derived Glib::Object types to the C tag in the builder UI description. You don't even have to do anything special in your class definition. For example, objects of this class: package My::Frame; use Gtk2; use Glib::Object::Subclass Gtk2::Frame::, properties => [ Glib::ParamSpec->int ('foo', ...), ], ; ... 1; could be expressed in a builder definition file like this: 15 Notice that the '::' package separator has been replaced with '__' in the C attribute; this is because the ':' character is not valid for GType type names. The mapping from perl package names to GType names should, in general, be as simple as transliterating the colons. =head1 PLAIN OBJECTS Glib::Object does not implement Gtk2::Buildable by itself, so to get a builder UI file to create your custom Glib::Object subtypes, you'll have add the Gtk2::Buildable interface to your class's interfaces list. package My::Thing; use Gtk2; # to get Gtk2::Buildable use Glib::Object::Subclass Glib::Object::, interfaces => [ 'Gtk2::Buildable' ], ... ; Again, if you have no special requirements, then that should be all you need to do. =head1 OVERRIDING BUILDABLE INTERFACE METHODS In some cases, you need to override the default Buildable behavior. Maybe your objects already store their names, or you need some special markup tags to express configuration. In these cases, add the Gtk2::Buildable interface to your object declaration, and implement the following methods as necessary. Note that in the current implementation the custom tags code doesn't chain up to any buildable interfaces in superclasses. This means for instance if you implement Gtk2::Buildable on a new widget subclass then you lose the and tags normally available from Gtk2::Widget. This will likely change in the future, probably by chaining up by default for unhandled tags, maybe with a way to ask deliberately not to chain. =over =item SET_NAME ($self, $name) =over =item * $name (string) =back This method should store I<$name> in I<$self> somehow. For example, Gtk2::Widget maps this to the Gtk2::Widget's C property. If you don't implement this method, the name will be attached in object data down in C code. Implement this method if your object has some notion of "name" and it makes sense to map the XML name attribute to that. =item string = GET_NAME ($self) If you implement C, you need to implement this method to retrieve that name. =item ADD_CHILD ($self, $builder, $child, $type) =over =item * $builder (Gtk2::Builder) =item * $child (Glib::Object or undef) =item * $type (string) =back C will be called to add I<$child> to I<$self>. I<$type> can be used to determine the kind of child. For example, Gtk2::Container implements this method to add a child widget to the container, and Gtk2::Notebook uses I<$type> to distinguish between "page-label" and normal children. The value of I<$type> comes directly from the C attribute of the XML C tag. =item SET_BUILDABLE_PROPERTY ($self, $builder, $name, $value) =over =item * $builder (Gtk2::Builder) =item * $name (string) =item * $value (scalar) =back This will be called to set the object property I<$name> on I<$self>, directly from the C XML tag. It is not normally necessary to implement this method, as the fallback simply calls C. Gtk2::Window implements this method to delay showing itself (i.e., setting the "visible" property) until the whole interface is created. You can also use this to handle properties that are not wired up through the Glib::Object property system (though simply creating the property is easier). =item parser or undef = CUSTOM_TAG_START ($self, $builder, $child, $tagname) =over =item * $builder (Gtk2::Builder) =item * $child (Glib::Object or undef) =item * $tagname (string) =back When Gtk2::Builder encounters an unknown tag while parsing the definition of I<$self>, it will call C to give your code a chance to do something with it. If I<$tagname> was encountered inside a C tag, the corresponding object will be passed in I<$child>; otherwise, I<$child> will be C. Your C method should decide whether it supports I<$tagname>. If not, return C. If you do support it, return a blessed perl object that implements three special methods to be used to parse that tag. (These methods are defined by GLib's GMarkupParser, which is a simple SAX-style setup.) =over =item START_ELEMENT ($self, $context, $element_name, $attributes) =over =item * $context (Gtk2::Buildable::ParseContext) =item * $element_name (string) =item * $attributes (hash reference) Dictionary of all attributes of this tag. =back =item TEXT ($self, $context, $text) =over =item * $context (Gtk2::Buildable::ParseContext) =item * $text (string) The text contained in the tag. =back =item END_ELEMENT ($self, $context, $element_name) =over =item * $context (Gtk2::Buildable::ParseContext) =item * $element_name (string) =back =back Any blessed perl object that implements these methods is valid as a parser. (Ain't duck-typing great?) Gtk2::Builder will hang on to this object until the parsing is complete, and will pass it to C and C, so you shouldn't have to worry about its lifetime. =item CUSTOM_TAG_END ($self, $builder, $child, $tagname, $parser) =over =item * $builder (Gtk2::Builder) =item * $child (Glib::Object or undef) =item * $tagname (string) =item * $parser (some perl object) as returned from C =back This method will be called (if it exists) when the close tag for I<$tagname> is encountered. I<$parser> will be the object you returned from C. I<$child> is the same object-or-undef as passed to C. =item CUSTOM_FINISHED ($self, $builder, $child, $tagname, $parser) =over =item * $builder (Gtk2::Builder) =item * $child (Glib::Object or undef) =item * $tagname (string) =item * $parser (some perl object) as returned from C =back This method will be called (if it exists) when the parser finishes dealing with the custom tag I<$tagname>. I<$parser> will be the object you returned from C. I<$child> is the same object-or-undef as passed to C. =item PARSER_FINISHED ($self, $builder) =over =item * $builder (Gtk2::Builder) =back If this method exists, it will be invoked when the builder finishes parsing the description data. This method is handy if you need to defer any object initialization until all of the rest of the input is parsed, most likely because you need to refer to an object that is declared after I<$self> or you need to perform special cleanup actions. It is not normally necessary to implement this method. =item object or undef = GET_INTERNAL_CHILD ($self, $builder, $childname) =over =item * $builder (Gtk2::Builder) =item * $childname (string) =back This will be called to fetch an internal child of I<$self>. Implement this method if your buildable has internal children that need to be accessed from a UI definition. For example, Gtk2::Dialog implements this to give access to its internal vbox child. =back =cut =for see_also http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkBuilder.html#BUILDER-UI =cut =for see_also Gtk2::Buildable::ParseContext =cut
