Constructor
Gtk.Application.new
Declaration [src]
GtkApplication*
gtk_application_new (
const char* application_id,
GApplicationFlags flags
)
Description [src]
Creates a new GtkApplication instance.
When using GtkApplication, it is not necessary to call gtk_init()
manually. It is called as soon as the application gets registered as
the primary instance.
Concretely, gtk_init() is called in the default handler for the
GApplication::startup signal. Therefore, GtkApplication subclasses should
always chain up in their GApplication::startup handler before using any GTK
API.
Note that commandline arguments are not passed to gtk_init().
If application_id is not NULL, then it must be valid. See
g_application_id_is_valid().
If no application ID is given then some features (most notably application uniqueness) will be disabled.
