gtk-window-type-hint (object)

object -- a gtk-window widget
hint -- a value of the gdk-window-type-hint enumeration

Accessor of the type-hint slot of the gtk-window class.

The gtk-window-type-hint slot access function gets the type hint for the window. The (setf gtk-window-type-hint) slot access function sets the type hint. By setting the type hint for the window, you allow the window manager to decorate and handle the window in a way which is suitable to the function of the window in your application.

This function should be called before the window becomes visible.

The gtk-dialog-new-with-buttons function and other convenience functions in GTK will sometimes call this function on your behalf.
