Linking to GML widgets

How to link to your GML widgets in C++

Include compile_gml() your applications CMake file.

compile_gml(YourGMLFile.gml MyGML.h my_gml)

Include the name of the header file that will be compiled from your GML file in your SOURCES.

set(SOURCES
    MyGML.h
)

You can then reference the variable you set (e.g. calculator_gml) in your main C++ file using load_from_gml().

load_from_gml(my_gml);

From there, you can use find_descendant_of_type_named to select widgets from your GML from their name property.

@GUI::Button {
    name: "mem_add_button"
    text: "M+"
    fixed_width: 35
    fixed_height: 28
    foreground_color: "red"
}

Is referenced using...

load_from_gml(calculator_gml);
m_mem_add_button = *find_descendant_of_type_named<GUI::Button>("mem_add_button");
