Struct glib::value::BoxedValue

pub struct BoxedValue(pub Value);

A Value containing another Value.

Methods from Deref<Target = Value>

pub fn get<'a, T>(
    &'a self
) -> Result<T, <<T as FromValue<'_>>::Checker as ValueTypeChecker>::Error> where
    T: FromValue<'a>, 

Tries to get a value of type T.

Returns Ok if the type is correct.

pub fn is<T: StaticType>(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the type of the value corresponds to T or is a sub-type of T.

pub fn type_(&self) -> Type

Returns the type of the value.

pub fn transform<T: ValueType>(&self) -> Result<Value, BoolError>

Tries to transform the value into a value of the target type Tries to cast the contents of self into a type appropriate to store in dest_value, e.g. to transform a G_TYPE_INT value into a G_TYPE_FLOAT value. Performing transformations between value types might incur precision lossage. Especially transformations into strings might reveal seemingly arbitrary results and shouldn’t be relied upon for production code (such as rcfile value or object property serialization).

dest_value

Target value.

Returns

Whether a transformation rule was found and could be applied. Upon failing transformations, dest_value is left untouched.
