Intermediate types

Some parts of the gtkmm API use intermediate data containers, such as Glib::StringArrayHandle instead of a specific Standard C++ container such as std::vector or std::list. You should not declare these types yourself -- you should use whatever Standard C++ container you prefer instead. gtkmm will do the conversion for you. Here are some of these intermediate types:


Google

  • Glib::StringArrayHandle or Glib::ArrayHandle<Glib::ustring>: Use std::vector<Glib::ustring>, std::list<Glib::ustring>, const char*[], etc.

  • Glib::ListHandle<Gtk::Widget*>: Use std::vector<Gtk::Widget*>, std::list<Gtk::Widget*>, etc.

  • Glib::SListHandle<Gtk::Widget*>: Use std::vector<Gtk::Widget*>, std::list<Gtk::Widget*>, etc.
