GtkPositionType

GtkPreviewType

WARNING: GtkPreviewType is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. An enumeration which describes whether a preview contains grayscale or red-green-blue data.

grayscale

The preview contains grayscale data.

GtkReliefStyle

Draw a normal relief.

GtkSelectionMode

Used to control what selections users are allowed to make.

none

No selection is possible.

single

Zero or one element may be selected.

browse

Exactly one element is selected. In some circumstances, such as initially or during a search operation, it's possible for no element to be selected with GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE. What is really enforced is that the user can't deselect a currently selected element except by selecting another element.

multiple

Any number of elements may be selected. Clicks toggle the state of an item. Any number of elements may be selected. The Ctrl key may be used to enlarge the selection, and Shift key to select between the focus and the child pointed to. Some widgets may also allow Click-drag to select a range of elements.

extended

Deprecated, behaves identical to GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE.

GtkShadowType

Used to change the appearance of an outline typically provided by a GtkFrame.

none

No outline.

in

The outline is bevelled inwards.

out

The outline is bevelled outwards like a button.

etched-in

The outline has a sunken 3d appearance.

etched-out

The outline has a raised 3d appearance

GtkSideType

WARNING: GtkSideType is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. undocumented

GtkStateType

This type indicates the current state of a widget; the state determines how the widget is drawn. The GtkStateType enumeration is also used to identify different colors in a GtkStyle for drawing, so states can be used for subparts of a widget as well as entire widgets.

normal

State during normal operation.

active

State of a currently active widget, such as a depressed button.

prelight

State indicating that the mouse pointer is over the widget and the widget will respond to mouse clicks.

selected

State of a selected item, such the selected row in a list.

insensitive

State indicating that the widget is unresponsive to user actions.

GtkSubmenuDirection

WARNING: GtkSubmenuDirection is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Indicates the direction a sub-menu will appear.

left

A sub-menu will appear to the left of the current menu.

right

A sub-menu will appear to the right of the current menu.

GtkSubmenuPlacement

WARNING: GtkSubmenuPlacement is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. undocumented

top-bottom

undocumented

left-right

undocumented

GtkToolbarStyle

Used to customize the appearance of a GtkToolbar. Note that setting the toolbar style overrides the user's preferences for the default toolbar style. Note that if the button has only a label set and GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS is used, the label will be visible, and vice versa.

icons

Buttons display only icons in the toolbar.

text

Buttons display only text labels in the toolbar.

both

Buttons display text and icons in the toolbar.

both-horiz

Buttons display icons and text alongside each other, rather than vertically stacked

GtkUpdateType

Used by GtkRange to control the policy for notifying value changes.

continuous

Notify updates whenever the value changed

discontinuous

Notify updates when the mouse button has been released

delayed

Space out updates with a small timeout

GtkVisibility

Used by GtkCList and GtkCTree to indicate whether a row is visible.

none

The row is not visible.

partial

The row is partially visible.

full

The row is fully visible.

GtkWindowPosition

Window placement can be influenced using this enumeration. Note that using GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS is almost always a bad idea. It won't necessarily work well with all window managers or on all windowing systems.

none

No influence is made on placement.

center

Windows should be placed in the center of the screen.

mouse

Windows should be placed at the current mouse position.

center-always

Keep window centered as it changes size, etc.

center-on-parent

Center the window on its transient parent (see gtkWindowSetTransientFor).

GtkWindowType

A GtkWindow can be one of these types. Most things you'd consider a "window" should have type GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL; windows with this type are managed by the window manager and have a frame by default (call gtkWindowSetDecorated to toggle the frame). Windows with type GTK_WINDOW_POPUP are ignored by the window manager; window manager keybindings won't work on them, the window manager won't decorate the window with a frame, many GTK+ features that rely on the window manager will not work (e.g. resize grips and maximization/minimization). GTK_WINDOW_POPUP is used to implement widgets such as GtkMenu or tooltips that you normally don't think of as windows per se. Nearly all windows should be GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL. In particular, do not use GTK_WINDOW_POPUP just to turn off the window borders; use gtkWindowSetDecorated for that.

toplevel

A regular window, such as a dialog.

popup

A special window such as a tooltip.

GtkSortType

Determines the direction of a sort.

ascending

Sorting is in ascending order.

descending

Sorting is in descending order.
