right: The feature is at the right edge.
top: The feature is at the top edge.
bottom: The feature is at the bottom edge.

GtkSelectionMode

Used to control what selections users are allowed to make.

none: No selection is possible.
single: Zero or one element may be selected.
browse: Exactly one element is selected. In some circumstances, such as initially or during a search operation, it's possible for no element to be selected with GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE. What is really enforced is that the user can't deselect a currently selected element except by selecting another element.
multiple: Any number of elements may be selected. Clicks toggle the state of an item. Any number of elements may be selected. The Ctrl key may be used to enlarge the selection, and Shift key to select between the focus and the child pointed to. Some widgets may also allow Click-drag to select a range of elements.
extended: Deprecated, behaves identical to GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE.

GtkShadowType

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

none: No outline.
in: The outline is bevelled inwards.
out: The outline is bevelled outwards like a button.
etched-in: The outline has a sunken 3d appearance.
etched-out: The outline has a raised 3d appearance

GtkSideType

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

top: undocumented
bottom: undocumented
left: undocumented
right: undocumented

GtkStateType

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

normal: State during normal operation.
active: State of a currently active widget, such as a depressed button.
prelight: State indicating that the mouse pointer is over the widget and the widget will respond to mouse clicks.
selected: State of a selected item, such the selected row in a list.
insensitive: State indicating that the widget is unresponsive to user actions.

GtkSubmenuDirection

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

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

GtkSubmenuPlacement

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

top-bottom: undocumented
left-right: undocumented

GtkToolbarStyle

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

icons: Buttons display only icons in the toolbar.
text: Buttons display only text labels in the toolbar.
both: Buttons display text and icons in the toolbar.
both-horiz: Buttons display icons and text alongside each other, rather than vertically stacked

GtkUpdateType

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

continuous: Notify updates whenever the value changed
discontinuous: Notify updates when the mouse button has been released
delayed: Space out updates with a small timeout

GtkVisibility

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

none: The row is not visible.
partial: The row is partially visible.
full: The row is fully visible.

GtkWindowPosition

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

none: No influence is made on placement.
center: Windows should be placed in the center of the screen.
mouse: Windows should be placed at the current mouse position.
center-always: Keep window centered as it changes size, etc.
center-on-parent: Center the window on its transient parent (see gtkWindowSetTransientFor).

GtkWindowType

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

toplevel: A regular window, such as a dialog.
popup: A special window such as a tooltip.

GtkSortType

Determines the direction of a sort.

ascending: Sorting is in ascending order.
descending: Sorting is in descending order.
