GtkBuilder accepts UI descriptions and turns them into Gtk applications.

  In this case, the UI description is in the file <file>helloworld.glade</file>

  and can be read by the get_object() method.

  <example>

    
Load the UI file using GtkBuilder and get the window object

    using the <gui>Name</gui> (or <gui>ID</gui>) chosen in Glade, and add the

    window object to the application:

    _onStartup() {

        let builder = new Gtk.Builder();

        builder.add_from_file('helloworld.glade');

        this._window = builder.get_object('window1');

        this.application.add_window(this._window);

    }

};
