Struct ConstantExpression Copy item path

Return the inner pointer to the underlying C value.

Similar to Self::evaluate but panics if the value is of a different type.

Create a PropertyExpression that looks up for property_name with self as parameter. This is useful in long chains of Expressions.

Create a ClosureExpression from a glib::Closure with self as the second parameter and R as the return type. The return type is checked at run-time and must always be specified. This is useful in long chains of Expressions when using the glib::closure! macro.

Note that the first parameter will always be the this object bound to the expression. If None is passed as this then the type of the first parameter must be Option<glib::Object> otherwise type checking will panic.

use glib::{closure, Object};
use gtk::{glib, prelude::*};

let button = gtk::Button::new();
button.set_label("Hello");
let label = button
    .property_expression("label")
    .chain_closure::<String>(closure!(|_: Option<Object>, label: &str| {
        format!("{} World", label)
    }))
    .evaluate_as::<String, _>(gtk::Widget::NONE);
assert_eq!(label.unwrap(), "Hello World");

Create a ClosureExpression with self as the second parameter. This is useful in long chains of Expressions.
