< li > GtkExpression uses GValue to hold a value. GValue is a structure and
container to hold a type and value. It must be initialized with
< code > G_VALUE_INIT< / code > , first. Be careful that < code > value< / code > is
a structure, not a pointer to a structure.< / li >
< li > Constant expression is created with
< code > gtk_constant_expression_new< / code > function. The parameter of the
function is a type (GType) and a value (or instance). This expression
holds a constant value. < code > G_TYPE_INT< / code > is a type that is
registered to the type system. It is integer type. Some types are shown
in the following table.< / li >
< li > < code > gtk_expression_evaluate< / code > evaluates the expression. It
has three parameters, the expression to evaluate, < code > this< / code >
instance and a pointer to a GValue for being set with the value.

Therefore, the second argument is NULL.
< code > gtk_expression_evaluate< / code > returns TRUE if it successfully
evaluates the expression. Otherwise it returns FALSE.< / li >

value of the expression. The type of the value is int.< / li >

does the initialization. A GtkLabel instance is created with the text
“Hello world.”.< / li >

a GtkLabel instance. But at the creation, no instance is given because
the second argument is NULL. The expression just knows how to take the

< p > A closure expression calls closure when it is evaluated. A closure is
a generic representation of a callback (a pointer to a function). For
information about closure, see < a

API Reference – < / a > . There are simple
closure example files < code > closure.c< / code > and
< code > closure_each.c< / code > in the < code > src/expression< / code >
directory.< / p >
< p > There are two types of closure expressions, GtkCClosureExpression and
GtkClosureExpression. They corresponds to GCClosure and GClosure
respectively. When you program in C language, GtkCClosureExpression and
GCClosure are appropriate.< / p >

GtkLabel instance to the integer returned by the closure expression. It

changes and tries to change the property of the label. Obviously, it is
not a correct behavior. The watch should be unwatched before the window
is destroyed.< / li >

< p > The expression created by the lookup tag returns a int type GValue.
On the other hand “label” property holds a string type GValue. When a
GValue is copied to another GValue, the type is automatically converted
if possible. If the current width is 100, an int < code > 100< / code > is
converted to a string < code > "100"< / code > .< / p >
< p > If you use < code > g_object_get< / code > and < code > g_object_set< / code > to
copy properties, the value is automatically converted.< / p >
