gtk.gdk Constants — the built-in constants of the gtk.gdk module
Synopsis
Description
GDK Drag Action Constants
The Drag Action constants are used by gtk.gdk.DragContext objects to indicate what the destination should do with the dropped data.
| gtk.gdk.ACTION_DEFAULT | |
| gtk.gdk.ACTION_COPY | Copy the data. |
| gtk.gdk.ACTION_MOVE | Move the data, i.e. first copy it, then delete it from the source using the DELETE target of the X selection protocol. |
| gtk.gdk.ACTION_LINK | Add a link to the data. Note that this is only useful if source and destination agree on what it means. |
| gtk.gdk.ACTION_PRIVATE | Special action which tells the source that the destination will do something that the source doesn't understand. |
| gtk.gdk.ACTION_ASK | Ask the user what to do with the data. |
GDK Device Axis Use Constants

| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_EDGE_SOUTH_EAST | The lower right corner. |
GDK Window Hints Constants
The Window Hints constants specify the fields of a GdkGeometry struct should be paid attention to. Also, the presence/absence of gtk.gdk.HINT_POS, gtk.gdk.HINT_USER_POS, and gtk.gdk.HINT_USER_SIZE is significant, though they don't directly refer to GdkGeometry fields. gtk.gdk.HINT_USER_POS will be set automatically by gtk.Window if you call the gtk.Window.move() method. gtk.gdk.HINT_USER_POS and gtk.gdk.HINT_USER_SIZE should be set if the user specified a size/position using a --geometry command-line argument; the gtk.Window.parse_geometry() method automatically sets these flags. These constants aren't useful in PyGTK.
| gtk.gdk.HINT_POS | Indicates that the program has positioned the window |
| gtk.gdk.HINT_MIN_SIZE | Min size fields are set |
| gtk.gdk.HINT_MAX_SIZE | Max size fields are set |
| gtk.gdk.HINT_BASE_SIZE | Base size fields are set |
| gtk.gdk.HINT_ASPECT | Aspect ratio fields are set |
| gtk.gdk.HINT_RESIZE_INC | Resize increment fields are set |
| gtk.gdk.HINT_WIN_GRAVITY | Window gravity field is set |
| gtk.gdk.HINT_USER_POS | Indicates that the window's position was explicitly set by the user |
| gtk.gdk.HINT_USER_SIZE | Indicates that the window's size was explicitly set by the user |
GDK Window State Flag Constants
The Window State flag constants are a set of bit-flags that specify the state of a toplevel window.
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_STATE_WITHDRAWN | The window is not shown. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_STATE_ICONIFIED | The window is minimized. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_STATE_MAXIMIZED | The window is maximized. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_STATE_STICKY | The window is sticky. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_STATE_FULLSCREEN | The window is maximized without decorations. Available in PyGTK 2.2 and above. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_STATE_ABOVE | The window is kept above other windows. Available in PyGTK 2.4 and above. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_STATE_BELOW | The window is kept below other windows. Available in PyGTK 2.4 and above. |
GDK Window Type Constants
The Window Type constants specify the type of window.
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_ROOT | The root window; this window has no parent, covers the entire screen, and is created by the window system. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL | A toplevel window (used to implement gtk.Window). |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_CHILD | A child window (used to implement widgets e.g. gtk.Entry). |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_DIALOG | A useless/deprecated compatibility type. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TEMP | An override redirect temporary window (used to implement gtk.Menu). |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_FOREIGN | A foreign window (see the gtk.gdk.window_foreign_new() function). |
GDK Window Type Hint Constants
The Window Type Hint constants specify hints for the window manager that indicate what type of function the window has. The window manager can use this when determining decoration and behavior of the window. The hint must be set before mapping the window.
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_NORMAL | A normal toplevel window. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG | A dialog window. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_MENU | A window used to implement a menu. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_TOOLBAR | A window used to implement a toolbar. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN | A window used to implement a splash screen |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_UTILITY | |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK | A window used to implement a docking bar. |
| gtk.gdk.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DESKTOP | A window used to implement a desktop. |
GDK WM Decoration Constants
The WM Decoration constants are bit-flags that specify the hints that the window manager can use when determining how to decorate the window. The hints must be set before mapping the window.
| gtk.gdk.DECOR_ALL | All decorations should be applied. |
| gtk.gdk.DECOR_BORDER | A frame should be drawn around the window. |
| gtk.gdk.DECOR_RESIZEH | The frame should have resize handles. |
| gtk.gdk.DECOR_TITLE | A titlebar should be placed above the window. |
| gtk.gdk.DECOR_MENU | A button for opening a menu should be included. |
| gtk.gdk.DECOR_MINIMIZE | A minimize button should be included. |
| gtk.gdk.DECOR_MAXIMIZE | A maximize button should be included. |
GDK WM Function Constants
The WM Function constants specify hints originally defined by the Motif toolkit. The window manager can use them when determining the functions to offer for the window. The hint must be set before mapping the window.
| gtk.gdk.FUNC_ALL | All functions should be offered. |
| gtk.gdk.FUNC_RESIZE | The window should be resizable. |
| gtk.gdk.FUNC_MOVE | The window should be movable. |
| gtk.gdk.FUNC_MINIMIZE | The window should be minimizable. |
| gtk.gdk.FUNC_MAXIMIZE | The window should be maximizable. |
| gtk.gdk.FUNC_CLOSE | The window should be closeable. |
