DataHandler.getValueFromStr

gobject.value.Value getValueFromStr(string str, gobject.types.GType type)

Creates a new GValue which represents the str value given as argument. This is the opposite of the function [gda.data_handler.DataHandler.getStrFromValue]. The type argument is used to determine the real data type requested for the returned value.

If the str string is null, then the returned GValue is of type GDA_TYPE_NULL; if the str string does not correspond to a valid string for the requested type, then null is returned.

Note

the str string must be in the current locale representation

Parameters

`str`	a string or null
`type`	a GType

Returns

the new #GValue or null on error
