Widget.getAncestor

Gets the first ancestor of @widget with type @widget_type. For example, gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX) gets the first #GtkBox that’s an ancestor of @widget. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced. See note about checking for a toplevel #GtkWindow in the docs for gtk_widget_get_toplevel().

Note that unlike gtk_widget_is_ancestor(), gtk_widget_get_ancestor() considers @widget to be an ancestor of itself.
