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.
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.

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::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.

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::AutoConnection	0	(default) Same as DirectConnection, if the emitter and receiver are in the same thread. Same as QueuedConnection, if the emitter and receiver are in different threads.
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().

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.

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::TabFocus	0x1	the widget accepts focus by tabbing.

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::OtherFocusReason	7	Another reason, usually application-specific.

See also Keyboard Focus.

enum Qt::GestureFlag
flags Qt::GestureFlags

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.

Qt::PinchGesture	4	A Pinch gesture.
Qt::SwipeGesture	5	A Swipe gesture.
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.

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

enum Qt::ImageConversionFlag
flags Qt::ImageConversionFlags

The options marked "(default)" are set if no other values from the list are included (since the defaults are zero):

Color/Mono preference (ignored for QBitmap):

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::AutoColor	0x00000000	(default) - If the image has depth 1 and contains only black and white pixels, the pixmap becomes monochrome.
Qt::ColorOnly	0x00000003	The pixmap is dithered/converted to the native display depth.
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.

Dithering mode preference for alpha channel:

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::ThresholdAlphaDither	0x00000000	(default) - No dithering.
Qt::OrderedAlphaDither	0x00000004	A faster, more ordered dither.
Qt::DiffuseAlphaDither	0x00000008	A high-quality dither.

Color matching versus dithering preference:

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::PreferDither	0x00000040	(default when converting to a pixmap) - Always dither 32-bit images when the image is converted to 8 bits.
Qt::AvoidDither	0x00000080	(default when converting for the purpose of saving to file) - Dither 32-bit images only if the image has more than 256 colors and it is being converted to 8 bits.
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.

enum Qt::InputMethodHint
flags Qt::InputMethodHints

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::ImhNone	0x0	No hints.

Flags that alter the behavior:

Constant	Value	Description

Qt::ImhUrlCharactersOnly	0x400000	Only characters suitable for URLs are allowed.

Masks:

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::ImhExclusiveInputMask	0xffff0000	This mask yields nonzero if any of the exclusive flags are used.

Note: If several exclusive flags 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.

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::ImMicroFocus	0	The rectangle covering the area of the input cursor in widget coordinates.
Qt::ImFont	1	The currently used font for text input.
Qt::ImCursorPosition	2	The logical position of the cursor within the text surrounding the input area (see ImSurroundingText).
Qt::ImSurroundingText	3	The plain text around the input area, for example the current paragraph.
Qt::ImCurrentSelection	4	The currently selected text.
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.

The general purpose roles (and the associated types) are:

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::DisplayRole	0	The key data to be rendered in the form of text. (QString)
Qt::DecorationRole	1	The data to be rendered as a decoration in the form of an icon. (QColor, QIcon or QPixmap)
Qt::EditRole	2	The data in a form suitable for editing in an editor. (QString)
Qt::ToolTipRole	3	The data displayed in the item's tooltip. (QString)
Qt::StatusTipRole	4	The data displayed in the status bar. (QString)
Qt::WhatsThisRole	5	The data displayed for the item in "What's This?" mode. (QString)
Qt::SizeHintRole	13	The size hint for the item that will be supplied to views. (QSize)

Roles describing appearance and meta data (with associated types):

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::FontRole	6	The font used for items rendered with the default delegate. (QFont)
Qt::TextAlignmentRole	7	The alignment of the text for items rendered with the default delegate. (Qt::AlignmentFlag)
Qt::BackgroundRole	8	The background brush used for items rendered with the default delegate. (QBrush)
Qt::BackgroundColorRole	8	This role is obsolete. Use BackgroundRole instead.
Qt::ForegroundRole	9	The foreground brush (text color, typically) used for items rendered with the default delegate. (QBrush)
Qt::TextColorRole	9	This role is obsolete. Use ForegroundRole instead.
Qt::CheckStateRole	10	This role is used to obtain the checked state of an item. (Qt::CheckState)

Accessibility roles (with associated types):

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::AccessibleTextRole	11	The text to be used by accessibility extensions and plugins, such as screen readers. (QString)
Qt::AccessibleDescriptionRole	12	A description of the item for accessibility purposes. (QString)

User roles:

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::UserRole	32	The first role that can be used for application-specific purposes.

For user roles, it is up to the developer to decide which types to use and ensure that components use the correct types when accessing and setting data.

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.
Qt::ItemIsSelectable	1	It can be selected.
Qt::ItemIsEditable	2	It can be edited.
Qt::ItemIsDragEnabled	4	It can be dragged.
Qt::ItemIsDropEnabled	8	It can be used as a drop target.
Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable	16	It can be checked or unchecked by the user.
Qt::ItemIsEnabled	32	The user can interact with the item.
Qt::ItemIsTristate	64	The item is checkable with three separate states.

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

This enum is used in QGraphicsItem, QGraphicsScene and QGraphicsView to specify how items are selected, or how to determine if a shapes and items collide.

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::ContainsItemShape	0x0	The output list contains only items whose shape is fully contained inside the selection area. Items that intersect with the area's outline are not included.
Qt::IntersectsItemShape	0x1	The output list contains both items whose shape is fully contained inside the selection area, and items that intersect with the area's outline. This is a common mode for rubber band selection.
Qt::ContainsItemBoundingRect	0x2	The output list contains only items whose bounding rectangle is fully contained inside the selection area. Items that intersect with the area's outline are not included.
Qt::IntersectsItemBoundingRect	0x3	The output list contains both items whose bounding rectangle is fully contained inside the selection area, and items that intersect with the area's outline. This method is commonly used for determining areas that need redrawing.

enum Qt::KeyboardModifier
flags Qt::KeyboardModifiers

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::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.

enum Qt::LayoutDirection

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::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().

enum Qt::Orientation
flags Qt::Orientations

This type is used to signify an object's orientation.

Qt::ElideRight	1	The ellipsis should appear at the end of the text.
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://qt.nok...ovingto/brisbane/"), whereas Qt::ElideRight is appropriate for other strings (e.g., "Deploying Applications on Ma...").

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

enum 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::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.

Always use the longest variant when computing the size of a multi-variant string.

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.

enum 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.

Constant	Value	Description
Qt::PlainText	0	The text string is interpreted as a plain text string.
Qt::RichText	1	The text string is interpreted as a rich text string.
Qt::AutoText	2	The text string is interpreted as for Qt::RichText if Qt::mightBeRichText() returns true, otherwise as Qt::PlainText.
Qt::LogText	3	A special, limited text format which is only used by Q3TextEdit in an optimized mode.

enum Qt::TextInteractionFlag

enum 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.

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 or modified 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. 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.
