addFromString

open fun addFromString(buffer: String, length: Long): <Error class: unknown class><Boolean>

Parses a string containing a UI definition and merges it with the current contents of @builder.

This function is useful if you need to call method@Gtk.Builder.set_current_object to add user data to callbacks before loading GtkBuilder UI. Otherwise, you probably want ctor@Gtk.Builder.new_from_string instead.

Upon errors false will be returned and @error will be assigned a GError from the %GTK_BUILDER_ERROR, %G_MARKUP_ERROR or %G_VARIANT_PARSE_ERROR domain.

It’s not really reasonable to attempt to handle failures of this call. The only reasonable thing to do when an error is detected is to call g_error().

Return

true on success, false if an error occurred

Parameters

buffer

the string to parse

length

the length of @buffer (may be -1 if @buffer is nul-terminated)
