Detailed Description

This object represents an `instantiation' of an XML interface description. When one of these objects is created, the XML file is read, and the interface is created. The GladeXML object then provides an interface for accessing the widgets in the interface by the names assigned to them inside the XML description. The GladeXML object can also be used to connect handlers to the named signals in the description. Libglade also provides an interface by which it can look up the signal handler names in the program's symbol table and automatically connect as many handlers up as it can that way.

Convenient Construction

gladeXML is the result of collapsing the constructors of GladeXML (gladeXMLNew, gladeXMLNewFromBuffer) and accepts a subset of its arguments matching the required arguments of one of its delegate constructors.
