GObject.Object.connect

### Method

# GObject Objectconnect

#### Declaration

    GObject*
    g_object_connect (
      GObject* object,
      const gchar* signal_spec,
      ...
    )

#### Description

A convenience function to connect multiple signals at once.

The signal specs expected by this function have the form “modifier::signal_name”, where modifier can be one of the following: - signal: equivalent to g_signal_connect_data (…, NULL, G_CONNECT_DEFAULT) - object-signal, object_signal: equivalent to g_signal_connect_object (…, G_CONNECT_DEFAULT) - swapped-signal, swapped_signal: equivalent to g_signal_connect_data (…, NULL, G_CONNECT_SWAPPED) - swapped_object_signal, swapped-object-signal: equivalent to g_signal_connect_object (…, G_CONNECT_SWAPPED) - signal_after, signal-after: equivalent to g_signal_connect_data (…, NULL, G_CONNECT_AFTER) - object_signal_after, object-signal-after: equivalent to g_signal_connect_object (…, G_CONNECT_AFTER) - swapped_signal_after, swapped-signal-after: equivalent to g_signal_connect_data (…, NULL, G_CONNECT_SWAPPED | G_CONNECT_AFTER) - swapped_object_signal_after, swapped-object-signal-after: equivalent to g_signal_connect_object (…, G_CONNECT_SWAPPED | G_CONNECT_AFTER)

      menu->toplevel = g_object_connect (g_object_new (GTK_TYPE_WINDOW,
                               "type", GTK_WINDOW_POPUP,
                               "child", menu,
                               NULL),
                         "signal::event", gtk_menu_window_event, menu,
                         "signal::size_request", gtk_menu_window_size_request, menu,
                         "signal::destroy", gtk_widget_destroyed, &menu->toplevel,
                         NULL);

This method is not directly available to language bindings.

#### Parameters

`signal_spec`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  The spec for the first signal.

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

`...`

  Type: ``

  `GCallback` for the first signal, followed by data for the first signal, followed optionally by more signal spec/callback/data triples, followed by `NULL`.

#### Return value

Type: `GObject`

`object`.

The data is owned by the instance.
