  <p>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 <code>get_object()</code> method.</p>

  <example>
    <p>Load the UI file using <code>GtkBuilder</code> 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:</p>

    <code><![CDATA[
    _onStartup() {
        let builder = new Gtk.Builder();
        builder.add_from_file('helloworld.glade');
        this._window = builder.get_object('window1');
        this.application.add_window(this._window);
    }
};
]]></code>
  </example>
