path
Description:
public void path (out uint path_length, out string path, out string path_reversed)
Warning: path is deprecated since 3.0. Use get_path.
Obtains the full path to this.
Use get_path instead
The path is simply the name of a widget and all its parents in the container hierarchy, separated by periods. The name of a widget comes from
gtk_widget_get_name. Paths are used to apply styles to a widget in gtkrc configuration files. Widget names are the type of the
widget by default (e.g. “GtkButton”) or can be set to an application-specific value with gtk_widget_set_name. By setting the
name of a widget, you allow users or theme authors to apply styles to that specific widget in their gtkrc file. path_reversed_p
fills in the path in reverse order, i.e. starting with this’s name instead of starting with the name of
this’s outermost ancestor.
Parameters:
| this |
a Widget |
| path_length |
location to store length of the path, or null |
| path |
location to store allocated path string, or null |
| path_reversed |
location to store allocated reverse path string, or null |
