    get_type_from_name (

      const char* type_name
    )

#### Description [src]

Try to lookup a `GType` via the its name. See `gtk_builder_get_type_from_name()` for more details. The C implementation will use `g_type_from_name()` and if that fails try to guess the correct function name for registering the type and then use `dlsym()` to load it. The default implementation just tries `g_type_from_name()` and otherwise fails.
