get_value_from_str

Description:

public abstract Value? get_value_from_str (string? str, Type type)

Note: the str string must be in the current locale representation

Parameters:

this	an object which implements the DataHandler interface
str	a string or null
type	a GType

Returns:

the new Value or null on error
