Is it possible to define GTK+ type using gtkmm?

Question

I would like to define a new subclass of some gtkmm type, implementing interface of underlying GTK+ object. Then, i want to compile it into some kind of dll and use in pure C code (GTK+, no gtkmm) through this interface. Is it possible?

Answer 1

The followings are required to use gtkmm widget in GTK+ :

1. implement the desired custom widget in gtkmm
2. create a library from the widget for Glade
3. design the user interface containing the custom widget with Glade
4. declare the C interface for the application written in GTK+
5. build the user interface from XML with GtkBuilder
