The type of Window. When constructing Windows you need to specify what kind of Window it is to be. Since TOPLEVEL is almost always what you want the default constructor of Window chooses this automatically.

Field Summary
`static WindowType`	`POPUP` Windows with type 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 (ie borders), and many GTK features that rely on the window manager will not work (for example resize grips and maximize/minimize).
`static WindowType`	`TOPLEVEL` Most things you'd consider a "window" should have type TOPLEVEL; windows with this type are managed by the window manager and have a frame by default.

Field Detail

POPUP

public static final WindowType POPUP

Windows with type 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 (ie borders), and many GTK features that rely on the window manager will not work (for example resize grips and maximize/minimize). WindowType POPUP is used to implement widgets such as menus and tooltips - things that you wouldn't think of as Windows and don't program as such. In particular, do not use this to turn off Window borders! That's what setDecorated(false) is for.

TOPLEVEL

public static final WindowType TOPLEVEL

Most things you'd consider a "window" should have type TOPLEVEL; windows with this type are managed by the window manager and have a frame by default. [The frame is what you might think of the "border", although border is actually a characteristic of Widget. You can call setDecorated(false) to turn the window manager's frame off]
