Please, post a code and not a screenshot. Screenshots are difficult to read and impossible to copy-paste. To post a code you should enclose it in triple-backticks ```

Also, can you give an MWE of your code? It’s hard to understand what exactly are you doing and where your code fails you.

I suppose it should be something like

```julia
using GTK

ent = Entry()
set_gtk_property!(ent, :text, "My string")
str = get_gtk_property(ent, :text, String)

```

and some other parts that are missing in this piece of code. Do your best to make your example self-contained, so that it runs (or gets to the error that you want help with) as is. This means including package loading (e.g. `using ThatPackage` ) and any data that the code operates on.

Simplify your code to the smallest piece of code that still shows your problem. This step takes the most effort but is the most important for fixing your problem. Short, simple examples tend to get answers quickly.
