dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType<T extends InheritedWidget>({Object? aspect}) → T?
Returns the nearest widget of the given type T and creates a dependency on it, or null if no appropriate widget is found.

detachRenderObject() → void
Remove renderObject from the render tree.

dispatchNotification(Notification notification) → void
Start bubbling this notification at the given build context.
