Hello,  
I’m struggling to make a compound widget using struct under GTK4, does anyone have an example ?  
Thanks

Hi, if you’re referring to Gtk4.jl, compound widgets are not currently supported.

Yes I was refering to Gtk4 is there any plan to support it in the future?

Soon it should be possible to define new GObject types, which is a step towards compound widgets. There’s no roadmap or anything for Gtk4 – development is driven by what I feel like doing in my spare time.
