getAncestor

open fun getAncestor(widgetType: <Error class: unknown class>): Widget?

Gets the first ancestor of @widget with type @widget_type.

For example, gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX) gets the first GtkBox that’s an ancestor of @widget. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced.

Note that unlike method@Gtk.Widget.is_ancestor, this function considers @widget to be an ancestor of itself.

Return
