How to use GML in SerenityOS C++ applications
|
|
|
|
## CMake
|
|
|
|
Include `stringify_gml()` your applications CMake file. The header file name and GML string name are not fixed but must follow this convention.
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
stringify_gml(MyApp.gml MyAppGML.h my_app_gml)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Include the name of the header file that will be compiled from your GML file in your `SOURCES`.
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
set(SOURCES
|
|
MyAppGML.h
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## C++
|
|
|
|
You can then reference the variable you set (e.g. `my_app_gml`) in your main C++ file using `load_from_gml()`.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
load_from_gml(my_app_gml);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From there, you can use `find_descendant_of_type_named` to select widgets from your GML by their `name` property.
|
|
|
|
```gml
|
|
@GUI::Button {
|
|
name: "mem_add_button"
|
|
text: "M+"
|
|
fixed_width: 35
|
|
fixed_height: 28
|
|
foreground_color: "red"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Is referenced using...
|
|
```cpp
|
|
load_from_gml(calculator_gml);
|
|
m_mem_add_button = *find_descendant_of_type_named<GUI::Button>("mem_add_button");
|
|
```
