## Type Documentation

### Qt.AlignmentFlag

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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.
`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).

`Qt.AA_S60DontConstructApplicationPanes` | `8` | Stops Qt from initializing the S60 status pane and softkey pane on Symbian. This is useful to save memory and reduce startup time for applications that will run in fullscreen mode during their whole lifetime. This attribute must be set before QApplication is constructed.

By default in Symbian^3, a separate editing window is opened on top of an application. This is exactly like editing on previous versions of Symbian behave. When this attribute is true, a virtual keyboard window is shown on top of application and it is ensured that the focused text widget is visible. This is only supported in Symbian^3. (internal)

### Qt.ArrowType

Constant | Value
--- | ---
`Qt.NoArrow` | `0`
`Qt.UpArrow` | `1`
`Qt.DownArrow` | `2`
`Qt.LeftArrow` | `3`
`Qt.RightArrow` | `4`

### 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().

### 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().

### Qt.BGMode

Background mode:

Constant | Value
--- | ---
`Qt.TransparentMode` | `0`
`Qt.OpaqueMode` | `1`

### Qt.BrushStyle

This enum type defines the brush styles supported by Qt, i.e. the fill pattern of shapes drawn using QPainter.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.NoBrush` | `0` | No brush pattern.
`Qt.SolidPattern` | `1` | Uniform color.
`Qt.Dense1Pattern` | `2` | Extremely dense brush pattern.
`Qt.Dense2Pattern` | `3` | Very dense brush pattern.

`Qt.CrossPattern` | `11` | Crossing horizontal and vertical lines.
`Qt.BDiagPattern` | `12` | Backward diagonal lines.
`Qt.FDiagPattern` | `13` | Forward diagonal lines.
`Qt.DiagCrossPattern` | `14` | Crossing diagonal lines.
`Qt.LinearGradientPattern` | `15` | Linear gradient (set using a dedicated QBrush constructor).
`Qt.ConicalGradientPattern` | `17` | Conical gradient (set using a dedicated QBrush constructor).
`Qt.RadialGradientPattern` | `16` | Radial gradient (set using a dedicated QBrush constructor).
`Qt.TexturePattern` | `24` | Custom pattern (see QBrush.setTexture()).

See also QBrush.

### Qt.CaseSensitivity

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

### 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.

### Qt.ClipOperation

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.NoClip` | `0` | This operation turns clipping off.
`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.

### 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.AutoConnection` | `0` | (default) If the signal is emitted from a different thread than the receiving object, the signal is queued, behaving as Qt.QueuedConnection. Otherwise, the slot is invoked directly, behaving as Qt.DirectConnection. The type of connection is determined when the signal is emitted.
`Qt.DirectConnection` | `1` | The slot is invoked immediately, when the signal is emitted.
`Qt.QueuedConnection` | `2` | The slot is invoked when control returns to the event loop of the receiver's thread. The slot is executed in the receiver's thread.
`Qt.BlockingQueuedConnection` | `4` | Same as QueuedConnection, except the current thread blocks until the slot returns. This connection type should only be used where the emitter and receiver are in different threads. Note: Violating this rule can cause your application to deadlock.
`Qt.UniqueConnection` | `0x80` | Same as AutoConnection, but the connection is made only if it does not duplicate an existing connection. i.e., if the same signal is already connected to the same slot for the same pair of objects, then the connection will fail. This connection type was introduced in Qt 4.6.
`Qt.AutoCompatConnection` | `3` | The default type when Qt 3 support is enabled. Same as AutoConnection but will also cause warnings to be output in certain situations. 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.

When using signals and slots with multiple threads, see Signals and Slots Across Threads.

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

### 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.

### Qt.CoordinateSystem

This enum specifies the coordinate system.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.DeviceCoordinates` | `0` | Coordinates are relative to the upper-left corner of the object's paint device.
`Qt.LogicalCoordinates` | `1` | Coordinates are relative to the upper-left corner of the object.

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 4.6.

### Qt.Corner

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.TopLeftCorner` | `0x00000` | The top-left corner of the rectangle.
`Qt.TopRightCorner` | `0x00001` | The top-right corner of the rectangle.
`Qt.BottomLeftCorner` | `0x00002` | The bottom-left corner of the rectangle.
`Qt.BottomRightCorner` | `0x00003` | The bottom-right corner of the rectangle.

### Qt.CursorShape

This enum type defines the various cursors that can be used.

The standard arrow cursor is the default for widgets in a normal state.

Constant | Value | Description

`Qt.Tuesday` | `2`
`Qt.Wednesday` | `3`
`Qt.Thursday` | `4`

`Qt.LinkAction` | `0x4` | Create a link from the source to the target.
`Qt.ActionMask` | `0xff` |
`Qt.IgnoreAction` | `0x0` | Ignore the action (do nothing with the data).
`Qt.TargetMoveAction` | `0x8002` | On Windows, this value is used when the ownership of the D&D data should be taken over by the target application, i.e., the source application should not delete the data. On X11 this value is used to do a move. TargetMoveAction is not used on the Mac.

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

### 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().

### 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.

### Qt.FocusPolicy

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

### Qt.GestureFlag

This enum type describes additional flags that can be used when subscribing to a gesture.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.DontStartGestureOnChildren` | `0x01` | By default gestures can start on the widget or over any of its children. Use this flag to disable this and allow a gesture to start on the widget only.

`Qt.ReceivePartialGestures`

`0x02`

Allows any ignored gesture events to be propagated to parent widgets which have specified this hint. By default only gestures that are in the Qt.GestureStarted state are propagated and the widget always gets the full gesture sequence starting with a gesture in the Qt.GestureStarted state and ending with a gesture in the Qt.GestureFinished or Qt.GestureCanceled states.

`Qt.IgnoredGesturesPropagateToParent` | `0x04` | Since Qt 4.7, this flag allows you to fine-tune gesture event propagation. By setting the flag when grabbing a gesture all ignored partial gestures will propagate to their parent items.

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 4.6.

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

See also QWidget.grabGesture() and QGraphicsObject.grabGesture().

`Qt.CustomGesture` | `0x0100` | A flag that can be used to test if the gesture is a user-defined gesture ID.

User-defined gestures are registered with the QGestureRecognizer.registerRecognizer() function which generates a custom gesture ID with the Qt.CustomGesture flag set.

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 4.6.

`Qt.MonoOnly` | `0x00000002` | The pixmap becomes monochrome. If necessary, it is dithered using the chosen dithering algorithm.

Dithering mode preference for RGB channels:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.DiffuseDither` | `0x00000000` | (default) - A high-quality dither.
`Qt.OrderedDither` | `0x00000010` | A faster, more ordered dither.
`Qt.ThresholdDither` | `0x00000020` | No dithering; closest color is used.

`Qt.NoOpaqueDetection` | `0x00000100` | Do not check whether the image contains non-opaque pixels. Use this if you know that the image is semi-transparent and you want to avoid the overhead of checking the pixels in the image until a non-opaque pixel is found, or if you want the pixmap to retain an alpha channel for some other reason. If the image has no alpha channel this flag has no effect.

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

### Qt.KeyboardModifier

This enum describes the modifier keys.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.NoModifier` | `0x00000000` | No modifier key is pressed.
`Qt.ShiftModifier` | `0x02000000` | A Shift key on the keyboard is pressed.
`Qt.ControlModifier` | `0x04000000` | A Ctrl key on the keyboard is pressed.
`Qt.AltModifier` | `0x08000000` | An Alt key on the keyboard is pressed.
`Qt.MetaModifier` | `0x10000000` | A Meta key on the keyboard is pressed.
`Qt.KeypadModifier` | `0x20000000` | A keypad button is pressed.
`Qt.GroupSwitchModifier` | `0x40000000` | X11 only. A Mode_switch key on the keyboard is pressed.

Note: On Mac OS X, the `ControlModifier` value corresponds to the Command keys on the Macintosh keyboard, and the `MetaModifier` value corresponds to the Control keys. The `KeypadModifier` value will also be set when an arrow key is pressed as the arrow keys are considered part of the keypad.

Note: On Windows Keyboards, Qt.MetaModifier and Qt.Key_Meta are mapped to the Windows key.

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

See also MouseButton and Modifier.

### Qt.LayoutDirection

Specifies the direction of Qt's layouts and text handling.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.LeftToRight` | `0` | Left-to-right layout.
`Qt.RightToLeft` | `1` | Right-to-left layout.
`Qt.LayoutDirectionAuto` | `2` | Automatic layout.

Right-to-left layouts are necessary for certain languages, notably Arabic and Hebrew.

LayoutDirectionAuto serves two purposes. When used in conjunction with widgets and layouts, it will imply to use the layout direction set on the parent widget or QApplication. This has the same effect as QWidget.unsetLayoutDirection().

When LayoutDirectoinAuto is used in conjunction with text layouting, it will imply that the text directionality is determined from the content of the string to be layouted.

See also QApplication.setLayoutDirection(), QWidget.setLayoutDirection(), QTextOption.setTextDirection(), and QString.isRightToLeft().

### Qt.MaskMode

This enum specifies the behavior of the QPixmap.createMaskFromColor() and QImage.createMaskFromColor() functions.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.MaskInColor` | `0` | Creates a mask where all pixels matching the given color are opaque.
`Qt.MaskOutColor` | `1` | Creates a mask where all pixels matching the given color are transparent.

### Qt.MatchFlag

This enum describes the type of matches that can be used when searching for items in a model.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.MatchExactly` | `0` | Performs QVariant-based matching.
`Qt.MatchFixedString` | `8` | Performs string-based matching. String-based comparisons are case-insensitive unless the `MatchCaseSensitive` flag is also specified.
`Qt.MatchContains` | `1` | The search term is contained in the item.
`Qt.MatchStartsWith` | `2` | The search term matches the start of the item.
`Qt.MatchEndsWith` | `3` | The search term matches the end of the item.
`Qt.MatchCaseSensitive` | `16` | The search is case sensitive.
`Qt.MatchRegExp` | `4` | Performs string-based matching using a regular expression as the search term.
`Qt.MatchWildcard` | `5` | Performs string-based matching using a string with wildcards as the search term.
`Qt.MatchWrap` | `32` | Perform a search that wraps around, so that when the search reaches the last item in the model, it begins again at the first item and continues until all items have been examined.
`Qt.MatchRecursive` | `64` | Searches the entire hierarchy.

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

See also QString.compare() and QRegExp.

### Qt.Modifier

This enum provides shorter names for the keyboard modifier keys supported by Qt.

Note: On Mac OS X, the `CTRL` value corresponds to the Command keys on the Macintosh keyboard, and the `META` value corresponds to the Control keys.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.SHIFT` | `Qt.ShiftModifier` | The Shift keys provided on all standard keyboards.
`Qt.META` | `Qt.MetaModifier` | The Meta keys.
`Qt.CTRL` | `Qt.ControlModifier` | The Ctrl keys.
`Qt.ALT` | `Qt.AltModifier` | The normal Alt keys, but not keys like AltGr.
`Qt.UNICODE_ACCEL` | `0x00000000` | The shortcut is specified as a Unicode code point, not as a Qt Key.

See also KeyboardModifier and MouseButton.

### Qt.MouseButton

This enum type describes the different mouse buttons.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.NoButton` | `0x00000000` | The button state does not refer to any button (see QMouseEvent.button()).
`Qt.LeftButton` | `0x00000001` | The left button is pressed, or an event refers to the left button. (The left button may be the right button on left-handed mice.)
`Qt.RightButton` | `0x00000002` | The right button.
`Qt.MidButton` | `0x00000004` | The middle button.
`Qt.MiddleButton` | `MidButton` | The middle button.
`Qt.XButton1` | `0x00000008` | The first X button.
`Qt.XButton2` | `0x00000010` | The second X button.

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

See also KeyboardModifier and Modifier.

### Qt.NavigationMode

This enum type describes the mode for moving focus.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.NavigationModeNone` | `0` | Only the touch screen is used.
`Qt.NavigationModeKeypadTabOrder` | `1` | Qt.Key_Up and Qt.Key_Down are used to change focus.
`Qt.NavigationModeKeypadDirectional` | `2` | Qt.Key_Up, Qt.Key_Down, Qt.Key_Left and Qt.Key_Right are used to change focus.
`Qt.NavigationModeCursorAuto` | `3` | The mouse cursor is used to change focus, it is displayed only on non touchscreen devices. The keypad is used to implement a virtual cursor, unless the device has an analog mouse type of input device (e.g. touchpad). This is the recommended setting for an application such as a web browser that needs pointer control on both touch and non-touch devices.
`Qt.NavigationModeCursorForceVisible` | `4` | The mouse cursor is used to change focus, it is displayed regardless of device type. The keypad is used to implement a virtual cursor, unless the device has an analog mouse type of input device (e.g. touchpad)

Note:: in 4.6, cursor navigation is only implemented for Symbian OS. On other platforms, it behaves as NavigationModeNone.

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 4.6.

See also QApplication.setNavigationMode() and QApplication.navigationMode().

### Qt.Orientation

`Qt.ElideMiddle` | `2` | The ellipsis should appear in the middle of the text.
`Qt.ElideNone` | `3` | Ellipsis should NOT appear in the text.

Qt.ElideMiddle is normally the most appropriate choice for URLs (e.g., "http://bugreports.qt.../QTWEBSITE-13/"), whereas Qt.ElideRight is appropriate for other strings (e.g., "Deploying Applications on Ma...").

See also QAbstractItemView.textElideMode, QFontMetrics.elidedText(), AlignmentFlag, and QTabBar.elideMode.

### Qt.TextFlag

This enum type is used to define some modifier flags. Some of these flags only make sense in the context of printing:

`Qt.TextShowMnemonic` | `0x0800` | Displays the string "&P" as P (see QButton for an example). For an ampersand, use "&&".
`Qt.TextWordWrap` | `0x1000` | Breaks lines at appropriate points, e.g. at word boundaries.
`Qt.TextWrapAnywhere` | `0x2000` | Breaks lines anywhere, even within words.
`Qt.TextHideMnemonic` | `0x8000` | Same as Qt.TextShowMnemonic but doesn't draw the underlines.
`Qt.TextDontPrint` | `0x4000` | Treat this text as "hidden" and don't print it.
`Qt.IncludeTrailingSpaces` | `TextIncludeTrailingSpaces` | When this option is set, QTextLine.naturalTextWidth() and naturalTextRect() will return a value that includes the width of trailing spaces in the text; otherwise this width is excluded.
`Qt.TextIncludeTrailingSpaces` | `0x08000000` | Same as IncludeTrailingSpaces
`Qt.TextJustificationForced` | `0x10000` | Ensures that text lines are justified.

Ensures that the longest variant is always used when computing the size of a multi-variant string. (Internal)

You can use as many modifier flags as you want, except that Qt.TextSingleLine and Qt.TextWordWrap cannot be combined.

Flags that are inappropriate for a given use are generally ignored.

### Qt.TextFormat

This enum is used in widgets that can display both plain text and rich text, e.g. QLabel. It is used for deciding whether a text string should be interpreted as one or the other. This is normally done by passing one of the enum values to a setTextFormat() function.

--- | --- | ---
`Qt.FastTransformation` | `0` | The transformation is performed quickly, with no smoothing.
`Qt.SmoothTransformation` | `1` | The resulting image is transformed using bilinear filtering.

See also QImage.scaled().

### Qt.UIEffect

This enum describes the available UI effects.

By default, Qt will try to use the platform specific desktop settings for each effect. Use the QApplication.setDesktopSettingsAware() function (passing `false` as argument) to prevent this, and the QApplication.setEffectEnabled() to enable or disable a particular effect.

Note that all effects are disabled on screens running at less than 16-bit color depth.

Constant | Value | Description

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

### Qt.WidgetAttribute

This enum type is used to specify various widget attributes. Attributes are set and cleared with QWidget.setAttribute(), and queried with QWidget.testAttribute(), although some have special convenience functions which are mentioned below.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt.WA_AcceptDrops` | `78` | Allows data from drag and drop operations to be dropped onto the widget (see QWidget.setAcceptDrops()).
`Qt.WA_AlwaysShowToolTips` | `84` | Enables tooltips for inactive windows.
`Qt.WA_ContentsPropagated` | `3` | This flag is superfluous and obsolete; it no longer has any effect. Since Qt 4.1, all widgets that do not set WA_PaintOnScreen propagate their contents.
`Qt.WA_CustomWhatsThis` | `47` | Indicates that the widget wants to continue operating normally in "What's This?" mode. This is set by the widget's author.
`Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose` | `55` | Makes Qt delete this widget when the widget has accepted the close event (see QWidget.closeEvent()).
`Qt.WA_Disabled` | `0` | Indicates that the widget is disabled, i.e. it does not receive any mouse or keyboard events. There is also a getter functions QWidget.isEnabled(). This is set/cleared by the Qt kernel.
`Qt.WA_DontShowOnScreen` | `103` | Indicates that the widget is hidden or is not a part of the viewable Desktop.
`Qt.WA_ForceDisabled` | `32` | Indicates that the widget is explicitly disabled, i.e. it will remain disabled even when all its ancestors are set to the enabled state. This implies WA_Disabled. This is set/cleared by QWidget.setEnabled() and QWidget.setDisabled().
`Qt.WA_ForceUpdatesDisabled` | `59` | Indicates that updates are explicitly disabled for the widget; i.e. it will remain disabled even when all its ancestors are set to the updates-enabled state. This implies WA_UpdatesDisabled. This is set/cleared by QWidget.setUpdatesEnabled().
`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 and Symbian 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.
`Qt.WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeDock` | `105` | Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK 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.
`Qt.WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeToolBar` | `106` | Adds _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR 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. Note: Qt automaticaly sets this attribute for QToolBar.

### 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 or modified in Qt 4.4.

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

### 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.

### Qt.WindowState

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.

### Qt.WindowType

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. If 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.WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint` | `0x40000000` | Makes softkeys visible when widget is fullscreen. Only supported for Symbian.
`Qt.WindowSoftkeysRespondHint` | `0x80000000` | Makes softkeys to receive key events even when invisible. With this hint the softkey actions are triggered even the softkeys are invisible i.e. the window is displayed with `showFullscreen()`. Only supported for Symbian.
`Qt.WindowType_Mask` | `0x000000ff` | A mask for extracting the window type part of the window flags.

## Method Documentation

### QString Qt.convertFromPlainText (QString plain, WhiteSpaceMode mode = Qt.WhiteSpacePre)

This method is only available if the QtGui module is imported.

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 (QString plain)

This method is only available if the QtGui module is imported.

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 (QString)

This method is only available if the QtGui module is imported.

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.
