application. Inside the activate() function we want to construct
our GTK window, so that a window is shown when the application
is launched. The call to gtk_application_window_new() will
createa a new #GtkWindow and store it inside the

<varname>window</varname> pointer. The window will have a frame,
a title bar, and window controls depending on the platform.</para>

<para>As seen above, example-1.c builds further upon example-0.c by adding a
button to our window, with the label "Hello World". Two new GtkWidget pointers
are declared to accomplish this, <varname>button</varname> and
<varname>button_box</varname>. The button_box variable is created to store a
#GtkButtonBox which is GTK+'s way of controlling the size and layout of buttons.
The #GtkButtonBox is created and assigned to gtk_button_box_new() which takes a
#GtkOrientation enum as parameter. The buttons which this box will contain can
either be stored horizontally or vertically but this does not matter in this
particular case as we are dealing with only one button. After initializing
button_box with horizontal orientation, the code adds the button_box widget to the
window widget using gtk_container_add().</para>
<para>Next the <varname>button</varname> variable is initialized in similar manner.
gtk_button_new_with_label() is called which returns a GtkButton to be stored inside
<varname>button</varname>. Afterwards <varname>button</varname> is added to
our <varname>button_box</varname>.
Using g_signal_connect the button is connected to a function in our app called
print_hello(), so that when the button is clicked, GTK will call this function.
As the print_hello() function does not use any data as input, NULL is passed
to it. print_hello() calls g_print() with the string "Hello World"
which will print Hello World in a terminal if the GTK application was started
from one.</para>
<para>After connecting print_hello(), another signal is connected to the "clicked" state
of the button using g_signal_connect_swapped(). This functions is similar to
a g_signal_connect() with the difference lying in how the callback function is
treated. g_signal_connect_swapped() allow you to specify what the callback
function should take as parameter by letting you pass it as data. In this case
the function being called back is gtk_widget_destroy() and the <varname>window</varname>
pointer is passed to it. This has the effect that when the button is clicked,
the whole GTK window is destroyed. In contrast if a normal g_signal_connect() were used
to connect the "clicked" signal with gtk_widget_destroy(), then the <varname>button</varname>
itself would have been destroyed, not the window.

</para>
<para>The rest of the code in example-1.c is identical to example-0.c. Next
section will elaborate further on how to add several GtkWidgets to your GTK
application.</para>
