## Type Documentation

### enum Qt::AlignmentFlag
flags Qt::Alignment

This enum type is used to describe alignment. It contains horizontal and vertical flags that can be combined to produce the required effect.

The TextElideMode enum can also be used in many situations to fine-tune the appearance of aligned text.

The horizontal flags are:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::AlignLeft` | `0x0001` | Aligns with the left edge.
`Qt::AlignRight` | `0x0002` | Aligns with the right edge.
`Qt::AlignHCenter` | `0x0004` | Centers horizontally in the available space.
`Qt::AlignJustify` | `0x0008` | Justifies the text in the available space.

The vertical flags are:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::AlignTop` | `0x0020` | Aligns with the top.
`Qt::AlignBottom` | `0x0040` | Aligns with the bottom.
`Qt::AlignVCenter` | `0x0080` | Centers vertically in the available space.

You can use only one of the horizontal flags at a time. There is one two-dimensional flag:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::AlignCenter` | `AlignVCenter | AlignHCenter` | Centers in both dimensions.

You can use at most one horizontal and one vertical flag at a time. Qt::AlignCenter counts as both horizontal and vertical.

Three enum values are useful in applications that can be run in right-to-left mode:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::AlignAbsolute` | `0x0010` | If the widget's layout direction is Qt::RightToLeft (instead of Qt::LeftToRight, the default), Qt::AlignLeft refers to the right edge and Qt::AlignRight to the left edge. This is normally the desired behavior. If you want Qt::AlignLeft to always mean "left" and Qt::AlignRight to always mean "right", combine the flag with Qt::AlignAbsolute.
`Qt::AlignLeading` | `AlignLeft` | Synonym for Qt::AlignLeft.
`Qt::AlignTrailing` | `AlignRight` | Synonym for Qt::AlignRight.

Masks:

Constant | Value
--- | ---
`Qt::AlignHorizontal_Mask` | `AlignLeft | AlignRight | AlignHCenter | AlignJustify | AlignAbsolute`
`Qt::AlignVertical_Mask` | `AlignTop | AlignBottom | AlignVCenter`

Conflicting combinations of flags have undefined meanings.

The Alignment type is a typedef for QFlags<AlignmentFlag>. It stores an OR combination of AlignmentFlag values.

### enum Qt::AnchorAttribute

An anchor has one or more of the following attributes:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::AnchorName` | `0` | the name attribute of the anchor. This attribute is used when scrolling to an anchor in the document.
`Qt::AnchorHref` | `1` | the href attribute of the anchor. This attribute is used when a link is clicked to determine what content to load.

### enum Qt::AnchorPoint

Specifies a side of a layout item that can be anchored. This is used by QGraphicsAnchorLayout.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::AnchorLeft` | `0` | The left side of a layout item.
`Qt::AnchorHorizontalCenter` | `1` | A "virtual" side that is centered between the left and the right side of a layout item.
`Qt::AnchorRight` | `2` | The right side of a layout item.
`Qt::AnchorTop` | `3` | The top side of a layout item.
`Qt::AnchorVerticalCenter` | `4` | A "virtual" side that is centered between the top and the bottom side of a layout item.
`Qt::AnchorBottom` | `5` | The bottom side of a layout item.

See also QGraphicsAnchorLayout.

### enum Qt::ApplicationAttribute

This enum describes attributes that change the behavior of application-wide features. These are enabled and disabled using QCoreApplication::setAttribute(), and can be tested for with QCoreApplication::testAttribute().

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::AA_ImmediateWidgetCreation` | `0` | Ensures that widgets are created as soon as they are constructed. By default, resources for widgets are allocated on demand to improve efficiency and minimize resource usage. Setting or clearing this attribute affects widgets constructed after the change. Setting it tells Qt to create toplevel windows immediately. Therefore, if it is important to minimize resource consumption, do not set this attribute.
`Qt::AA_MSWindowsUseDirect3DByDefault` | `1` | This value is obsolete and has no effect.
`Qt::AA_DontShowIconsInMenus` | `2` | Actions with the Icon property won't be shown in any menus unless specifically set by the QAction::iconVisibleInMenu property.

Menus that are currently open or menus already created in the native Mac OS X menubar may not pick up a change in this attribute. Changes in the QAction::iconVisibleInMenu property will always be picked up.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::AA_NativeWindows` | `3` | Ensures that widgets have native windows.
`Qt::AA_DontCreateNativeWidgetSiblings` | `4` | Ensures that siblings of native widgets stay non-native unless specifically set by the Qt::WA_NativeWindow attribute.
`Qt::AA_MacPluginApplication` | `5` | Stops the Qt mac application from doing specific initializations that do not necessarily make sense when using Qt to author a plugin. This includes avoiding loading our nib for the main menu and not taking possession of the native menu bar. When setting this attribute to true will also set the AA_DontUseNativeMenuBar attribute to true.
`Qt::AA_DontUseNativeMenuBar` | `6` | All menubars created while this attribute is set to true won't be used as a native menubar (e.g, the menubar at the top of the main screen on Mac OS X or at the bottom in Windows CE).
`Qt::AA_MacDontSwapCtrlAndMeta` | `7` | On Mac OS X by default, Qt swaps the Control and Meta (Command) keys (i.e., whenever Control is pressed, Qt sends Meta and whenever Meta is pressed Control is sent. When this attribute is true, Qt will not do the flip. QKeySequence::StandardShortcuts will also flip accordingly (i.e., QKeySequence::Copy will be Command+C on the keyboard regardless of the value set, though what is output for QKeySequence::toString(QKeySequence::PortableText) will be different).

### enum Qt::ArrowType

Constant | Value
--- | ---
`Qt::NoArrow` | `0`
`Qt::UpArrow` | `1`
`Qt::DownArrow` | `2`
`Qt::LeftArrow` | `3`

### enum Qt::AspectRatioMode

This enum type defines what happens to the aspect ratio when scaling an rectangle.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio` | `0` | The size is scaled freely. The aspect ratio is not preserved.
`Qt::KeepAspectRatio` | `1` | The size is scaled to a rectangle as large as possible inside a given rectangle, preserving the aspect ratio.
`Qt::KeepAspectRatioByExpanding` | `2` | The size is scaled to a rectangle as small as possible outside a given rectangle, preserving the aspect ratio.

See also QSize::scale() and QImage::scaled().

### enum Qt::Axis

This enum type defines three values to represent the three axes in the cartesian coordinate system.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::XAxis` | `0` | The X axis.
`Qt::YAxis` | `1` | The Y axis.
`Qt::ZAxis` | `2` | The Z axis.

See also QTransform::rotate() and QTransform::rotateRadians().

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::NoBrush` | `0` | No brush pattern.
`Qt::SolidPattern` | `1` | Uniform color.
`Qt::Dense1Pattern` | `2` | Extremely dense brush pattern.

`Qt::TexturePattern` | `24` | Custom pattern (see QBrush::setTexture()).

See also QBrush.

### enum Qt::CaseSensitivity

Constant | Value
--- | ---
`Qt::CaseInsensitive` | `0`
`Qt::CaseSensitive` | `1`

### enum Qt::CheckState

This enum describes the state of checkable items, controls, and widgets.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::Unchecked` | `0` | The item is unchecked.
`Qt::PartiallyChecked` | `1` | The item is partially checked. Items in hierarchical models may be partially checked if some, but not all, of their children are checked.
`Qt::Checked` | `2` | The item is checked.

See also QCheckBox, Qt::ItemFlags, and Qt::ItemDataRole.

### enum Qt::ClipOperation

Constant | Value | Description

`Qt::ReplaceClip` | `1` | Replaces the current clip path/rect/region with the one supplied in the function call.
`Qt::IntersectClip` | `2` | Intersects the current clip path/rect/region with the one supplied in the function call.
`Qt::UniteClip` | `3` | Unites the current clip path/rect/region with the one supplied in the function call.

### enum Qt::ConnectionType

This enum describes the types of connection that can be used between signals and slots. In particular, it determines whether a particular signal is delivered to a slot immediately or queued for delivery at a later time.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::DirectConnection` | `1` | When emitted, the signal is immediately delivered to the slot.
`Qt::QueuedConnection` | `2` | When emitted, the signal is queued until the event loop is able to deliver it to the slot.
`Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection` | `4` | Same as QueuedConnection, except that the current thread blocks until the slot has been delivered. This connection type should only be used for receivers in a different thread. Note that misuse of this type can lead to deadlocks in your application.
`Qt::AutoConnection` | `0` | If the signal is emitted from the thread in which the receiving object lives, the slot is invoked directly, as with Qt::DirectConnection; otherwise the signal is queued, as with Qt::QueuedConnection.
`Qt::UniqueConnection` | `0x80` | Same as AutoConnection, but there will be a check that the signal is not already connected to the same slot before connecting, otherwise, the connection will fail. This value was introduced in Qt 4.6.
`Qt::AutoCompatConnection` | `3` | The default connection type for signals and slots when Qt 3 support is enabled. Equivalent to AutoConnection for connections but will cause warnings to be output under certain circumstances. See Compatibility Signals and Slots for further information.

With queued connections, the parameters must be of types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error message

     QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'MyType'

call qRegisterMetaType() to register the data type before you establish the connection.

See also Thread Support in Qt, QObject::connect(), and qRegisterMetaType().

### enum Qt::ContextMenuPolicy

This enum type defines the various policies a widget can have with respect to showing a context menu.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::NoContextMenu` | `0` | the widget does not feature a context menu, context menu handling is deferred to the widget's parent.
`Qt::PreventContextMenu` | `4` | the widget does not feature a context menu, and in contrast to `NoContextMenu`, the handling is not deferred to the widget's parent. This means that all right mouse button events are guaranteed to be delivered to the widget itself through mousePressEvent(), and mouseReleaseEvent().
`Qt::DefaultContextMenu` | `1` | the widget's QWidget::contextMenuEvent() handler is called.
`Qt::ActionsContextMenu` | `2` | the widget displays its QWidget::actions() as context menu.
`Qt::CustomContextMenu` | `3` | the widget emits the QWidget::customContextMenuRequested() signal.

The DropActions type is a typedef for QFlags<DropAction>. It stores an OR combination of DropAction values.

### enum Qt::EventPriority

This enum can be used to specify event priorities.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::HighEventPriority` | `1` | Events with this priority are sent before events with NormalEventPriority or LowEventPriority.
`Qt::NormalEventPriority` | `0` | Events with this priority are sent after events with HighEventPriority, but before events with LowEventPriority.
`Qt::LowEventPriority` | `-1` | Events with this priority are sent after events with HighEventPriority or NormalEventPriority.

Note that these values are provided purely for convenience, since event priorities can be any value between `INT_MAX` and `INT_MIN`, inclusive. For example, you can define custom priorities as being relative to each other:

     enum CustomEventPriority
     {
         // An important event
         ImportantEventPriority = Qt::HighEventPriority,

         // A more important event
         MoreImportantEventPriority = ImportantEventPriority + 1,

         // A critical event
         CriticalEventPriority = 100 * MoreImportantEventPriority,

         // Not that important
         StatusEventPriority = Qt::LowEventPriority,

         // These are less important than Status events
         IdleProcessingDoneEventPriority = StatusEventPriority - 1
     };

See also QCoreApplication::postEvent().

### enum Qt::FillRule

Specifies which method should be used to fill the paths and polygons.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::OddEvenFill` | `0` | Specifies that the region is filled using the odd even fill rule. With this rule, we determine whether a point is inside the shape by using the following method. Draw a horizontal line from the point to a location outside the shape, and count the number of intersections. If the number of intersections is an odd number, the point is inside the shape. This mode is the default.
`Qt::WindingFill` | `1` | Specifies that the region is filled using the non zero winding rule. With this rule, we determine whether a point is inside the shape by using the following method. Draw a horizontal line from the point to a location outside the shape. Determine whether the direction of the line at each intersection point is up or down. The winding number is determined by summing the direction of each intersection. If the number is non zero, the point is inside the shape. This fill mode can also in most cases be considered as the intersection of closed shapes.

### enum Qt::FocusPolicy

This enum type defines the various policies a widget can have with respect to acquiring keyboard focus.

`Qt::WheelFocus` | `StrongFocus | 0x4` | like Qt::StrongFocus plus the widget accepts focus by using the mouse wheel.
`Qt::NoFocus` | `0` | the widget does not accept focus.

### enum Qt::FocusReason

This enum specifies why the focus changed. It will be passed through QWidget::setFocus and can be retrieved in the QFocusEvent sent to the widget upon focus change.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::MouseFocusReason` | `0` | A mouse action occurred.
`Qt::TabFocusReason` | `1` | The Tab key was pressed.
`Qt::BacktabFocusReason` | `2` | A Backtab occurred. The input for this may include the Shift or Control keys; e.g. Shift+Tab.

### enum Qt::InputMethodHint
flags Qt::InputMethodHints

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::ImhNone` | `0x0` | No hints.

`Qt::ImhDialableCharactersOnly` | `0x100000` | Only characters suitable for phone dialling are allowed.

Note: If several flags ending with `Only` are ORed together, the resulting character set will consist of the union of the specified sets. For instance specifying `ImhNumbersOnly` and `ImhUppercaseOnly` would yield a set consisting of numbers and uppercase letters.

The InputMethodHints type is a typedef for QFlags<InputMethodHint>. It stores an OR combination of InputMethodHint values.

See also QGraphicsItem::inputMethodHints().

`Qt::ImMaximumTextLength` | `5` | The maximum number of characters that the widget can hold. If there is no limit, QVariant() is returned.
`Qt::ImAnchorPosition` | `6` | The position of the selection anchor. This may be less or greater than `ImCursorPosition`, depending on which side of selection the cursor is. If there is no selection, it returns the same as `ImCursorPosition`.

### enum Qt::ItemDataRole

Each item in the model has a set of data elements associated with it, each with its own role. The roles are used by the view to indicate to the model which type of data it needs. Custom models should return data in these types.

### enum Qt::ItemFlag
flags Qt::ItemFlags

This enum describes the properties of an item:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::NoItemFlags` | `0` | It does not have any properties set.

Note that checkable items need to be given both a suitable set of flags and an initial state, indicating whether the item is checked or not. This is handled automatically for model/view components, but needs to be explicitly set for instances of QListWidgetItem, QTableWidgetItem, and QTreeWidgetItem.

The ItemFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<ItemFlag>. It stores an OR combination of ItemFlag values.

See also QAbstractItemModel.

### enum Qt::ItemSelectionMode

`Qt::WA_GroupLeader` | `72` | This attribute has been deprecated. Use QWidget::windowModality instead.
`Qt::WA_Hover` | `74` | Forces Qt to generate paint events when the mouse enters or leaves the widget. This feature is typically used when implementing custom styles; see the Styles example for details.
`Qt::WA_InputMethodEnabled` | `14` | Enables input methods for Asian languages. Must be set when creating custom text editing widgets. On Windows CE this flag can be used in addition to QApplication::autoSipEnabled to automatically display the SIP when entering a widget.
`Qt::WA_KeyboardFocusChange` | `77` | Set on a toplevel window when the users changes focus with the keyboard (tab, backtab, or shortcut).
`Qt::WA_KeyCompression` | `33` | Enables key event compression if set, and disables it if not set. By default key compression is off, so widgets receive one key press event for each key press (or more, since autorepeat is usually on). If you turn it on and your program doesn't keep up with key input, Qt may try to compress key events so that more than one character can be processed in each event. For example, a word processor widget might receive 2, 3 or more characters in each QKeyEvent::text(), if the layout recalculation takes too long for the CPU. If a widget supports multiple character unicode input, it is always safe to turn the compression on. Qt performs key event compression only for printable characters. Qt::Modifier keys, cursor movement keys, function keys and miscellaneous action keys (e.g. Escape, Enter, Backspace, PrintScreen) will stop key event compression, even if there are more compressible key events available. Platforms other than Mac and X11 do not support this compression, in which case turning it on will have no effect. This is set/cleared by the widget's author.
`Qt::WA_LayoutOnEntireRect` | `48` | Indicates that the widget wants QLayout to operate on the entire QWidget::rect(), not only on QWidget::contentsRect(). This is set by the widget's author.
`Qt::WA_LayoutUsesWidgetRect` | `92` | Ignore the layout item rect from the style when laying out this widget with QLayout. This makes a difference in QMacStyle and QPlastiqueStyle for some widgets.
`Qt::WA_MacNoClickThrough` | `12` | When a widget that has this attribute set is clicked, and its window is inactive, the click will make the window active but won't be seen by the widget. Typical use of this attribute is on widgets with "destructive" actions, such as a "Delete" button. WA_MacNoClickThrough also applies to all child widgets of the widget that has it set.
`Qt::WA_MacOpaqueSizeGrip` | `85` | Indicates that the native Carbon size grip should be opaque instead of transparent (the default). This attribute is only applicable to Mac OS X and is set by the widget's author.
`Qt::WA_MacShowFocusRect` | `88` | Indicates that this widget should get a QFocusFrame around it. Some widgets draw their own focus halo regardless of this attribute. Not that the QWidget::focusPolicy also plays the main role in whether something is given focus or not, this only controls whether or not this gets the focus frame. This attribute is only applicable to Mac OS X.
`Qt::WA_MacNormalSize` | `89` | Indicates the widget should have the normal size for widgets in Mac OS X. This attribute is only applicable to Mac OS X.
`Qt::WA_MacSmallSize` | `90` | Indicates the widget should have the small size for widgets in Mac OS X. This attribute is only applicable to Mac OS X.
`Qt::WA_MacMiniSize` | `91` | Indicates the widget should have the mini size for widgets in Mac OS X. This attribute is only applicable to Mac OS X.
`Qt::WA_MacVariableSize` | `102` | Indicates the widget can choose between alternative sizes for widgets to avoid clipping. This attribute is only applicable to Mac OS X.
`Qt::WA_MacBrushedMetal` | `46` | Indicates the widget should be drawn in the brushed metal style as supported by the windowing system. This attribute is only applicable to Mac OS X.
`Qt::WA_Mapped` | `11` | Indicates that the widget is mapped on screen. This is set/cleared by the Qt kernel.
`Qt::WA_MouseNoMask` | `71` | Makes the widget receive mouse events for the entire widget regardless of the currently set mask, overriding QWidget::setMask(). This is not applicable for top-level windows.
`Qt::WA_MouseTracking` | `2` | Indicates that the widget has mouse tracking enabled. See QWidget::mouseTracking.
`Qt::WA_Moved` | `43` | Indicates that the widget has an explicit position. This is set/cleared by QWidget::move() and by QWidget::setGeometry().
`Qt::WA_MSWindowsUseDirect3D` | `94` | This value is obsolete and has no effect.
`Qt::WA_NoBackground` | `WA_OpaquePaintEvent` | This value is obsolete. Use WA_OpaquePaintEvent instead.
`Qt::WA_NoChildEventsForParent` | `58` | Indicates that the widget does not want ChildAdded or ChildRemoved events sent to its parent. This is rarely necessary but can help to avoid automatic insertion widgets like splitters and layouts. This is set by a widget's author.
`Qt::WA_NoChildEventsFromChildren` | `39` | Indicates that the widget does not want to receive ChildAdded or ChildRemoved events sent from its children. This is set by a widget's author.
`Qt::WA_NoMouseReplay` | `54` | Used for pop-up widgets. Indicates that the most recent mouse press event should not be replayed when the pop-up widget closes. The flag is set by the widget's author and cleared by the Qt kernel every time the widget receives a new mouse event.
`Qt::WA_NoMousePropagation` | `73` | Prohibits mouse events from being propagated to the widget's parent. This attribute is disabled by default.
`Qt::WA_TransparentForMouseEvents` | `51` | When enabled, this attribute disables the delivery of mouse events to the widget and its children. Mouse events are delivered to other widgets as if the widget and its children were not present in the widget hierarchy; mouse clicks and other events effectively "pass through" them. This attribute is disabled by default.
`Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground` | `9` | Indicates that the widget has no background, i.e. when the widget receives paint events, the background is not automatically repainted. Note: Unlike WA_OpaquePaintEvent, newly exposed areas are never filled with the background (e.g., after showing a window for the first time the user can see "through" it until the application processes the paint events). This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author.
`Qt::WA_OpaquePaintEvent` | `4` | Indicates that the widget paints all its pixels when it receives a paint event. Thus, it is not required for operations like updating, resizing, scrolling and focus changes to erase the widget before generating paint events. The use of WA_OpaquePaintEvent provides a small optimization by helping to reduce flicker on systems that do not support double buffering and avoiding computational cycles necessary to erase the background prior to painting. Note: Unlike WA_NoSystemBackground, WA_OpaquePaintEvent makes an effort to avoid transparent window backgrounds. This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author.
`Qt::WA_OutsideWSRange` | `49` | Indicates that the widget is outside the valid range of the window system's coordinate system. A widget outside the valid range cannot be mapped on screen. This is set/cleared by the Qt kernel.
`Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen` | `8` | Indicates that the widget wants to draw directly onto the screen. Widgets with this attribute set do not participate in composition management, i.e. they cannot be semi-transparent or shine through semi-transparent overlapping widgets. Note: This flag is only supported on X11 and it disables double buffering. On Qt for Embedded Linux, the flag only works when set on a top-level widget and it relies on support from the active screen driver. This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author. To render outside of Qt's paint system, e.g., if you require native painting primitives, you need to reimplement QWidget::paintEngine() to return 0 and set this flag.
`Qt::WA_PaintOutsidePaintEvent` | `13` | Makes it possible to use QPainter to paint on the widget outside paintEvent(). This flag is not supported on Windows, Mac OS X or Embedded Linux. We recommend that you use it only when porting Qt 3 code to Qt 4.
`Qt::WA_PaintUnclipped` | `52` | Makes all painters operating on this widget unclipped. Children of this widget or other widgets in front of it do not clip the area the painter can paint on. This flag is only supported for widgets with the WA_PaintOnScreen flag set. The preferred way to do this in a cross platform way is to create a transparent widget that lies in front of the other widgets.
`Qt::WA_PendingMoveEvent` | `34` | Indicates that a move event is pending, e.g., when a hidden widget was moved. This flag is set or cleared by the Qt kernel.
`Qt::WA_PendingResizeEvent` | `35` | Indicates that a resize event is pending, e.g., when a hidden widget was resized. This flag is set or cleared by the Qt kernel.
`Qt::WA_QuitOnClose` | `76` | Makes Qt quit the application when the last widget with the attribute set has accepted closeEvent(). This behavior can be modified with the QApplication::quitOnLastWindowClosed property. By default this attribute is set for all widgets of type Qt::Window.
`Qt::WA_Resized` | `42` | Indicates that the widget has an explicit size. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::resize() and QWidget::setGeometry().
`Qt::WA_RightToLeft` | `56` | Indicates that the layout direction for the widget is right to left.
`Qt::WA_SetCursor` | `38` | Indicates that the widget has a cursor of its own. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setCursor() and QWidget::unsetCursor().
`Qt::WA_SetFont` | `37` | Indicates that the widget has a font of its own. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setFont().
`Qt::WA_SetPalette` | `36` | Indicates that the widget has a palette of its own. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setPalette().
`Qt::WA_SetStyle` | `86` | Indicates that the widget has a style of its own. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setStyle().
`Qt::WA_ShowModal` | `70` | This attribute has been deprecated. Use QWidget::windowModality instead.
`Qt::WA_StaticContents` | `5` | Indicates that the widget contents are north-west aligned and static. On resize, such a widget will receive paint events only for parts of itself that are newly visible. This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author.
`Qt::WA_StyleSheet` | `97` | Indicates that the widget is styled using a style sheet.
`Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground` | `120` | Indicates that the widget should have a translucent background, i.e., any non-opaque regions of the widgets will be translucent because the widget will have an alpha channel. Setting this flag causes WA_NoSystemBackground to be set. On Windows the widget also needs the Qt::FramelessWindowHint window flag to be set. This flag is set or cleared by the widget's author.
`Qt::WA_UnderMouse` | `1` | Indicates that the widget is under the mouse cursor. The value is not updated correctly during drag and drop operations. There is also a getter function, QWidget::underMouse(). This flag is set or cleared by the Qt kernel.
`Qt::WA_UpdatesDisabled` | `10` | Indicates that updates are blocked (including the system background). This flag is set or cleared by the Qt kernel.

Warning: This flag must never be set or cleared by the widget's author.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::WA_WindowModified` | `41` | Indicates that the window is marked as modified. On some platforms this flag will do nothing, on others (including Mac OS X and Windows) the window will take a modified appearance. This flag is set or cleared by QWidget::setWindowModified().
`Qt::WA_WindowPropagation` | `80` | Makes a toplevel window inherit font and palette from its parent.
`Qt::WA_MacAlwaysShowToolWindow` | `96` | On Mac OS X, show the tool window even when the application is not active. By default, all tool windows are hidden when the application is inactive.
`Qt::WA_SetLocale` | `87` | Indicates the locale should be taken into consideration in the widget.
`Qt::WA_StyledBackground` | `93` | Indicates the widget should be drawn using a styled background.
`Qt::WA_ShowWithoutActivating` | `98` | Show the widget without making it active.
`Qt::WA_NativeWindow` | `100` | Indicates that a native window is created for the widget. Enabling this flag will also force a native window for the widget's ancestors unless Qt::WA_DontCreateNativeAncestors is set.
`Qt::WA_DontCreateNativeAncestors` | `101` | Indicates that the widget's ancestors are kept non-native even though the widget itself is native.
`Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeDesktop` | `104` | Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP to the window's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE X11 window property. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/ for more details. This attribute has no effect on non-X11 platforms.

### enum Qt::WindowFrameSection

This enum is used to describe parts of a window frame. It is returned by QGraphicsWidget::windowFrameSectionAt() to describe what section of the window frame is under the mouse.

Constant | Value
--- | ---
`Qt::NoSection` | `0`
`Qt::LeftSection` | `1`
`Qt::TopLeftSection` | `2`
`Qt::TopSection` | `3`
`Qt::TopRightSection` | `4`
`Qt::RightSection` | `5`
`Qt::BottomRightSection` | `6`
`Qt::BottomSection` | `7`
`Qt::BottomLeftSection` | `8`
`Qt::TitleBarArea` | `9`

This enum was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also QGraphicsWidget::windowFrameEvent(), QGraphicsWidget::paintWindowFrame(), and QGraphicsWidget::windowFrameSectionAt().

### enum Qt::WindowModality

This enum specifies the behavior of a modal window. A modal window is one that blocks input to other windows. Note that windows that are children of a modal window are not blocked.

The values are:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::NonModal` | `0` | The window is not modal and does not block input to other windows.
`Qt::WindowModal` | `1` | The window is modal to a single window hierarchy and blocks input to its parent window, all grandparent windows, and all siblings of its parent and grandparent windows.
`Qt::ApplicationModal` | `2` | The window is modal to the application and blocks input to all windows.

See also QWidget::windowModality and QDialog.

### enum Qt::WindowState
flags Qt::WindowStates

This enum type is used to specify the current state of a top-level window.

The states are

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::WindowNoState` | `0x00000000` | The window has no state set (in normal state).
`Qt::WindowMinimized` | `0x00000001` | The window is minimized (i.e. iconified).
`Qt::WindowMaximized` | `0x00000002` | The window is maximized with a frame around it.
`Qt::WindowFullScreen` | `0x00000004` | The window fills the entire screen without any frame around it.
`Qt::WindowActive` | `0x00000008` | The window is the active window, i.e. it has keyboard focus.

The WindowStates type is a typedef for QFlags<WindowState>. It stores an OR combination of WindowState values.

### enum Qt::WindowType
flags Qt::WindowFlags

This enum type is used to specify various window-system properties for the widget. They are fairly unusual but necessary in a few cases. Some of these flags depend on whether the underlying window manager supports them.

The main types are

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::Widget` | `0x00000000` | This is the default type for QWidget. Widgets of this type are child widgets if they have a parent, and independent windows if they have no parent. See also Qt::Window and Qt::SubWindow.
`Qt::Window` | `0x00000001` | Indicates that the widget is a window, usually with a window system frame and a title bar, irrespective of whether the widget has a parent or not. Note that it is not possible to unset this flag if the widget does not have a parent.
`Qt::Dialog` | `0x00000002 | Window` | Indicates that the widget is a window that should be decorated as a dialog (i.e., typically no maximize or minimize buttons in the title bar). This is the default type for QDialog. If you want to use it as a modal dialog, it should be launched from another window, or have a parent and used with the QWidget::windowModality property. If you make it modal, the dialog will prevent other top-level windows in the application from getting any input. We refer to a top-level window that has a parent as a secondary window.
`Qt::Sheet` | `0x00000004 | Window` | Indicates that the window is a Macintosh sheet. Since using a sheet implies window modality, the recommended way is to use QWidget::setWindowModality(), or QDialog::open(), instead.
`Qt::Drawer` | `0x00000006 | Window` | Indicates that the widget is a Macintosh drawer.
`Qt::Popup` | `0x00000008 | Window` | Indicates that the widget is a pop-up top-level window, i.e. that it is modal, but has a window system frame appropriate for pop-up menus.

`Qt::Tool`

`0x0000000a | Window`

Indicates that the widget is a tool window. A tool window is often a small window with a smaller than usual title bar and decoration, typically used for collections of tool buttons. It there is a parent, the tool window will always be kept on top of it. If there isn't a parent, you may consider using Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint as well. If the window system supports it, a tool window can be decorated with a somewhat lighter frame. It can also be combined with Qt::FramelessWindowHint.
On Mac OS X, tool windows correspond to the Floating class of windows. This means that the window lives on a level above normal windows; it impossible to put a normal window on top of it. By default, tool windows will disappear when the application is inactive. This can be controlled by the Qt::WA_MacAlwaysShowToolWindow attribute.

`Qt::ToolTip` | `0x0000000c | Window` | Indicates that the widget is a tooltip. This is used internally to implement tooltips.
`Qt::SplashScreen` | `0x0000000e | Window` | Indicates that the window is a splash screen. This is the default type for QSplashScreen.
`Qt::Desktop` | `0x00000010 | Window` | Indicates that this widget is the desktop. This is the type for QDesktopWidget.
`Qt::SubWindow` | `0x00000012` | Indicates that this widget is a sub-window, such as a QMdiSubWindow widget.

There are also a number of flags which you can use to customize the appearance of top-level windows. These have no effect on other windows:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint` | `0x00000100` | Gives the window a thin dialog border on Windows. This style is traditionally used for fixed-size dialogs.
`Qt::MSWindowsOwnDC` | `0x00000200` | Gives the window its own display context on Windows.
`Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHint` | `0x00000400` | Bypass the window manager completely. This results in a borderless window that is not managed at all (i.e., no keyboard input unless you call QWidget::activateWindow() manually).
`Qt::FramelessWindowHint` | `0x00000800` | Produces a borderless window. The user cannot move or resize a borderless window via the window system. On X11, the result of the flag is dependent on the window manager and its ability to understand Motif and/or NETWM hints. Most existing modern window managers can handle this.

The `CustomizeWindowHint` flag is used to enable customization of the window controls. This flag must be set to allow the `WindowTitleHint`, `WindowSystemMenuHint`, `WindowMinimizeButtonHint`, `WindowMaximizeButtonHint` and `WindowCloseButtonHint` flags to be changed.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt::CustomizeWindowHint` | `0x02000000` | Turns off the default window title hints.
`Qt::WindowTitleHint` | `0x00001000` | Gives the window a title bar.
`Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint` | `0x00002000` | Adds a window system menu, and possibly a close button (for example on Mac). If you need to hide or show a close button, it is more portable to use `WindowCloseButtonHint`.
`Qt::WindowMinimizeButtonHint` | `0x00004000` | Adds a minimize button. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
`Qt::WindowMaximizeButtonHint` | `0x00008000` | Adds a maximize button. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
`Qt::WindowMinMaxButtonsHint` | `WindowMinimizeButtonHint | WindowMaximizeButtonHint` | Adds a minimize and a maximize button. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
`Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint` | `0x08000000` | Adds a close button. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
`Qt::WindowContextHelpButtonHint` | `0x00010000` | Adds a context help button to dialogs. On some platforms this implies Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint for it to work.
`Qt::MacWindowToolBarButtonHint` | `0x10000000` | On Mac OS X adds a tool bar button (i.e., the oblong button that is on the top right of windows that have toolbars.
`Qt::BypassGraphicsProxyWidget` | `0x20000000` | Prevents the window and its children from automatically embedding themselves into a QGraphicsProxyWidget if the parent widget is already embedded. You can set this flag if you want your widget to always be a toplevel widget on the desktop, regardless of whether the parent widget is embedded in a scene or not.
`Qt::WindowShadeButtonHint` | `0x00020000` |
`Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint` | `0x00040000` | Informs the window system that the window should stay on top of all other windows. Note that on some window managers on X11 you also have to pass Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHint for this flag to work correctly.
`Qt::WindowStaysOnBottomHint` | `0x04000000` | Informs the window system that the window should stay on bottom of all other windows. Note that on X11 this hint will work only in window managers that support _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW atom. If a window always on the bottom has a parent, the parent will also be left on the bottom. This window hint is currently not implemented for Mac OS X.
`Qt::WindowOkButtonHint` | `0x00080000` | Adds an OK button to the window decoration of a dialog. Only supported for Windows CE.
`Qt::WindowCancelButtonHint` | `0x00100000` | Adds a Cancel button to the window decoration of a dialog. Only supported for Windows CE.
`Qt::WindowType_Mask` | `0x000000ff` | A mask for extracting the window type part of the window flags.

## Function Documentation

### QString Qt::convertFromPlainText ( const QString & plain, WhiteSpaceMode mode = WhiteSpacePre )

Converts the plain text string plain to an HTML-formatted paragraph while preserving most of its look.

mode defines how whitespace is handled.

This function is defined in the `<QTextDocument>` header file.

See also escape() and mightBeRichText().

### QString Qt::escape ( const QString & plain )

Converts the plain text string plain to a HTML string with HTML metacharacters `<`, `>`, and `&` replaced by HTML entities.

Example:

     QString plain = "#include <QtCore>"
     QString html = Qt::escape(plain);
     // html == "#include &lt;QtCore&gt;"

This function is defined in the `<QTextDocument>` header file.

See also convertFromPlainText() and mightBeRichText().

### bool Qt::mightBeRichText ( const QString & text )

Returns true if the string text is likely to be rich text; otherwise returns false.

This function uses a fast and therefore simple heuristic. It mainly checks whether there is something that looks like a tag before the first line break. Although the result may be correct for common cases, there is no guarantee.

This function is defined in the `<QTextDocument>` header file.
