### Class

# Gtk StringList

since: 4.0

#### Description [src]

    final class Gtk.StringList : GObject.Object
      implements Gio.ListModel, Gtk.Buildable {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GtkStringList` is a list model that wraps an array of strings.

The objects in the model are of type `GtkStringObject` and have a “string” property that can be used inside expressions.

`GtkStringList` is well-suited for any place where you would typically use a `char*[]`, but need a list model.

## GtkStringList as GtkBuildable

The `GtkStringList` implementation of the `GtkBuildable` interface supports adding items directly using the `<items>` element and specifying `<item>` elements for each item. Each `<item>` element supports the regular translation attributes “translatable”, “context” and “comments”.

Here is a UI definition fragment specifying a `GtkStringList`

    <object class="GtkStringList">
      <items>
        <item translatable="yes">Factory</item>
        <item translatable="yes">Home</item>
        <item translatable="yes">Subway</item>
      </items>
    </object>
