### Interface

# GtkNative

#### Description [src]

    interface Gtk.Native : Gtk.Widget

`GtkNative` is the interface implemented by all widgets that have their own `GdkSurface`.

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

Every widget that is not itself a `GtkNative` is contained in one, and you can get it with `gtk_widget_get_native()`.

To get the surface of a `GtkNative`, use `gtk_native_get_surface()`. It is also possible to find the `GtkNative` to which a surface belongs, with `gtk_native_get_for_surface()`.

In addition to a `GdkSurface`, a `GtkNative` also provides a `GskRenderer` for rendering on that surface. To get the renderer, use `gtk_native_get_renderer()`.

#### Prerequisite

In order to implement Native, your type must inherit from`GtkWidget`.
