[Glade-users] Catalog documentation confusion

[tristan.van.berkom at gmail.com (Tristan Van Berkom)]

Hi,

If you read on,
https://developer.gnome.org/gladeui/unstable/widgetclasses.html (the
next section)
describes the type of methods you can declare on a GladeWidgetAdaptor,
the adaptor is the main
entry point allowing you to customize the experience of working with a
given widget class, it allows
you to define a custom property editor for the widget, custom editors
for individual properties,
actions which show up in Glade's toolbar and context menus, etc.

It also allows you to load / save in custom ways (so you can support
custom GtkBuildable
fragments on your widgets which implement GtkBuildable).

Cheers,
    -Tristan
