### Interface

# Gtk Root

#### Description [src]

    interface Gtk.Root : Gtk.Native

An interface for widgets that can act as the root of a widget hierarchy.

The root widget takes care of providing the connection to the windowing system and manages layout, drawing and event delivery for its widget hierarchy.

The obvious example of a `GtkRoot` is `GtkWindow`.

To get the display to which a `GtkRoot` belongs, use `gtk_root_get_display()`.

`GtkRoot` also maintains the location of keyboard focus inside its widget hierarchy, with `gtk_root_set_focus()` and `gtk_root_get_focus()`.

#### Prerequisite

In order to implement Root, your type must inherit from`GtkNative`.
