is there a way to programmatically create ui xml? for example if i have a gtkwindow (gtk_window_new… gtk_window_set_title… etc) can i convert it to xml to use with gtkbuilder?
in practice the opposite of what gtkbuilder/gtkbuildable do
i tried to understand if i can use gladeui api… but i didn’t understand how to create a gladewidget from a gtkwidget
thanks in advance
No, there isn’t. Widgets can deserialise XML, but they don’t have any support for serialising their state, so it’s not possible to traverse a GTK widget tree and generate XML except in the most simple of cases. Any conversion that goes above simple property definitions—e.g. anything that involves menu items, actions, accessible objects, tree models, accelerators, etc.—would be lossy.
