### Method

# Gtk Widgetget_template_child

#### Declaration [src]

    GObject*
    gtk_widget_get_template_child (
      GtkWidget* widget,
      GType widget_type,
      const char* name
    )

#### Description [src]

Fetch an object build from the template XML for `widget_type` in this `widget` instance.

This will only report children which were previously declared with `gtk_widget_class_bind_template_child_full()` or one of its variants.

This function is only meant to be called for code which is private to the `widget_type` which declared the child and is meant for language bindings which cannot easily make use of the GObject structure offsets.

#### Parameters

`widget_type`

  Type: `GType`

  The `GType` to get a template child for.

`name`

  Type: `const char*`

  The “id” of the child defined in the template XML.

  The data is owned by the caller of the method.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

#### Return value

Type: `GObject`

The object built in the template XML with the id `name`.

The data is owned by the instance.
