### GTK Widget Flags Constants

The Widget Flags constants are a set of bit-flags that specify certain properties of the widget.

`gtk.TOPLEVEL` | Widgets without a real parent, as there are `gtk.Window` and `gtk.Menu` objects that have this flag set throughout their lifetime. Toplevel widgets always contain their own `gtk.gdk.Window`.
`gtk.NO_WINDOW` | Indicative for a widget that does not provide its own `gtk.gdk.Window`. Visible action (e.g. drawing) is performed on the parent's `gtk.gdk.Window`.
`gtk.REALIZED` | Set by the `gtk.Widget.realize`() method , unset by the `gtk.Widget.unrealize`() method. A realized widget has an associated `gtk.gdk.Window`.
`gtk.MAPPED` | Set by the `gtk.Widget.map`() method, unset by the `gtk.Widget.unmap`() method. Only realized widgets can be mapped. It means that the `gtk.Window.show`() method has been called on the widgets window(s).
`gtk.VISIBLE` | Set by the `gtk.Widget.show`() method, unset by the `gtk.Widget.hide`() method. Implies that a widget will be mapped as soon as its parent is mapped.
`gtk.SENSITIVE` | Set and unset by the `gtk.Widget.set_sensitive`() method. The sensitivity of a widget determines whether it will receive certain events (e.g. button or key presses). One premise for the widgets sensitivity is to have this flag set.
`gtk.PARENT_SENSITIVE` | Set and unset by the `gtk.Widget.set_sensitive`() method operations on the parents of the widget. This is the second premise for the widgets sensitivity. Once it has `gtk.SENSITIVE` and `gtk.PARENT_SENSITIVE` set, its state is effectively sensitive.
`gtk.CAN_FOCUS` | Determines if a widget is able to handle focus grabs.
`gtk.HAS_FOCUS` | Set by the `gtk.Widget.grab_focus`() method for widgets that also have `gtk.CAN_FOCUS` set. The flag will be unset once another widget grabs the focus.
`gtk.CAN_DEFAULT` | The widget is allowed to receive the default action via the `gtk.Widget.grab_default`() method.
`gtk.HAS_DEFAULT` | The widget currently is receiving the default action.
`gtk.HAS_GRAB` | Set by the `gtk.Widget.grab_add`() method, unset by the `gtk.Widget.grab_remove`() method. It means that the widget is in the grab_widgets stack, and will be the preferred one for receiving events other than ones of cosmetic value.
`gtk.RC_STYLE` | Indicates that the widgets style has been looked up through the rc mechanism. It does not imply that the widget actually had a style defined through the rc mechanism.
`gtk.COMPOSITE_CHILD` | Indicates that the widget is a composite child of its parent; see the `gtk.widget_push_composite_child`() and `gtk.widget_pop_composite_child`() functions.
`gtk.NO_REPARENT` | Unused.
`gtk.APP_PAINTABLE` | Set and unset by the `gtk.Widget.set_app_paintable`() method. Must be set on widgets whose window the application directly draws on, in order to keep PyGTK and GTK+ from overwriting the drawn stuff.
`gtk.RECEIVES_DEFAULT` | The widget when focused will receive the default action and have `gtk.HAS_DEFAULT` set even if there is a different widget set as default.
`gtk.DOUBLE_BUFFERED` | Set and unset by the `gtk.Widget.set_double_buffered`() method. Indicates that exposes done on the widget should be double-buffered.
`gtk.NO_SHOW_ALL` | If `True`, the `show_all`() and `hide_all`() methods do not affect the widget.

### GTK Widget Help Type Constants

The Widget Help Type constants specify the help type of the widget.

`gtk.WIDGET_HELP_TOOLTIP` | Tooltip help.
`gtk.WIDGET_HELP_WHATS_THIS` | What's this help.

### GTK Window Position Constants

The Window Position constants specify hints for initial window placement.

`gtk.WIN_POS_NONE` | No influence is made on placement.
`gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER` | Windows should be placed in the center of the screen.
`gtk.WIN_POS_MOUSE` | Windows should be placed at the current mouse position.
`gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS` | Keep window centered as it changes size, etc.
`gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT` | Center the window on its transient parent (see the `gtk.Window.set_transient_for`()) method.

### GTK Window Type Constants

The Window Type constants specify the type of a `gtk.Window`. Most things you'd consider a "window" should have type `gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL`; windows with this type are managed by the window manager and have a frame by default (call the `set_decorated`() method to toggle the frame). Windows with type `gtk.WINDOW_POPUP` are ignored by the window manager; window manager keybindings won't work on them, the window manager won't decorate the window with a frame, many GTK+ features that rely on the window manager will not work (e.g. resize grips and maximization/minimization). `gtk.WINDOW_POPUP` is used to implement widgets such as `gtk.Menu` or tooltips that you normally don't think of as windows per se. Nearly all windows should be `gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL`. In particular, do not use `gtk.WINDOW_POPUP` just to turn off the window borders; use the `gtk.Window.set_decorated`() method for that.

`gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL` | A regular window, such as a dialog.
`gtk.WINDOW_POPUP` | A special window such as a tooltip.

### GTK Wrap Mode Constants

The Wrap Mode constants specify the type of line wrapping in a `gtk.TextView`.

`gtk.WRAP_NONE` | Do not wrap lines - just make the text area wider
`gtk.WRAP_CHAR` | Wrap text, breaking lines anywhere the cursor can appear (usually between characters)
`gtk.WRAP_WORD` | Wrap text, breaking lines in between words
`gtk.WRAP_WORD_CHAR` | Wrap text, breaking lines in between words, or if that is not enough, also between graphemes.
