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.

Gtk::Dialog::new_with_buttons() and other convenience functions in GTK+ will sometimes call set_type_hint() on your behalf.

Parameters:

hint

The window type.
