    Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground to it's attributes.
*/

/*! \var Hb::WindowFlag Hb::WindowFlagNoBackground

*/

/*! \var Hb::WindowFlag Hb::WindowFlagFixedVertical

*/

/*! \var Hb::WindowFlag Hb::WindowFlagFixedHorizontal
    Indicates that the application uses horizontal orientation at startup. If flag is not

*/

/*! \var Hb::ApplicationFlag Hb::DefaultApplicationFlags

    Default value for application flags. Enables the splash screen.
*/

*/

/*! \var Hb::ApplicationFlag Hb::SplashFixedVertical

  Indicates that the application will force its orientation to vertical. As a result the
  splash screen will also be forced to vertical orientation.

  \sa HbSplashScreen::FixedVertical
*/

/*! \var Hb::ApplicationFlag Hb::SplashFixedHorizontal

  Indicates that the application will force its orientation to horizontal. As a result the
  splash screen will also be forced to horizontal orientation.

  \sa HbSplashScreen::FixedHorizontal
*/

/*! \var Hb::ApplicationFlag Hb::ForceQtSplash

  Forces the usage of QWidget-based splash screens, even on platforms where a more
  optimal, non-Qt dependent implementation would be available. Use this when it must be
  guaranteed that the splash screen will use the same graphics system as Qt (e.g. because
  the application forces 'raster'). The downside is a decrease in performance and user
  experience, because in this case the splash can only be shown after constructing
  QApplication.

  \sa HbSplashScreen::ForceQt
*/

/*! \var Hb::ApplicationFlag Hb::ShowSpashWhenStartingToBackground

  Does not suppress the splash when the application is started to background.
  Normally HbSplashScreen::start() will do nothing if the process command line
  indicates that the application is started to background (by specifying the
  corresponding flags in the system startup list entry or by starting to
  background as a service). This flag disables the check.

  \sa HbSplashScreen::ShowWhenStartingToBackground
*/

/*!
  \enum Hb::ViewSwitchFlag

  Flags controlling the behavior of HbMainWindow::setCurrentView().

  When the \i animate parameter of HbMainWindow::setCurrentView() is
  \i false, no effects are shown during the view switch and any
  related flags are ignored.
 */

/*!
  \var Hb::ViewSwitchFlag Hb::ViewSwitchDefault

  The view switch hide and show effects (if present) are applied concurrently (in
  parallel) to the view content only. In addition, the framework decides if the normal
  effect events ("hide" and "show") or the "going back" versions ("hide_back" and
  "show_back") are used. This decision is based on the index of the views in the stack,
  i.e. the order in which they were added to the mainwindow. E.g. when moving from view A,
  that is added before view B, to view B, the normal "going forward" behavior is assumed
  (ViewSwitchUseNormalAnim). On the other hand when switching from view B to A, the
  behavior is assumed to be "going backwards" (ViewSwitchUseBackAnim).
 */

/*!
  \var Hb::ViewSwitchFlag Hb::ViewSwitchSequential

  Executes the "show" and "hide" effects sequentially, meaning that
  first the current view gets the "hide" effect applied and the new view
  only has its "show" effect started when the "hide" has finished.
 */

/*!
  \var Hb::ViewSwitchFlag Hb::ViewSwitchFullScreen

  The view switch effect is applied not just to the view's content but also other
  decorators, e.g. the titlebar, the toolbar, etc. The background is not included.

  This flag automatically implies ViewSwitchSequential.
*/

/*!
  \var Hb::ViewSwitchFlag Hb::ViewSwitchUseNormalAnim

  Uses the standard "hide" and "show" effect events.
*/

/*!
  \var Hb::ViewSwitchFlag Hb::ViewSwitchUseBackAnim

  Use the alternative "hide_back" and "show_back" effect events instead of the standard
  "hide" and "show".

  This flag automatically disables ViewSwitchUseNormalAnim if that one is also present.
*/

/*!
  \var Hb::ViewSwitchFlag Hb::ViewSwitchUseAltEvent

  Forces the usage of the "show_alt" and "hide_alt" (also "show_alt_back" and "hide_alt_back")
  events instead of "show" and "hide" (even when combined with other flags).

  This flag is typically used when the alternative default effect is wanted, which is typically
  a flip effect (although it is not guaranteed to be that for every theme).

  The alternative effects can be overridden using HbEffect::add() just like the normal ones.

  This flag automatically implies ViewSwitchSequential. (the default effect is parallel, the alternative is sequential)
*/

/*!
  \var Hb::ViewSwitchFlag Hb::ViewSwitchCachedFullScreen

  Similar to Hb::ViewSwitchFullScreen with the following differences: It will
  use a screenshot of the source view instead of the live content and it also
  supports parallel effects, i.e. this flag does not automatically imply
  Hb::ViewSwitchSequential.

  Use this flag only when switching between inconsistent views, i.e. when one
  view has the normal statusbar and titlebar while the other is fullscreen, or
  when one view has a toolbar while the other does not.

  By default effects between such views would not look very fluid due to the
  relayouting that needs to be done due to the difference in the decorator
  visibilities. This flag makes it possible to use the standard view switch
  effects also in such cases on the expense of a minor performance hit.
*/

/*!
    \enum Hb::TextCursorVisibility
    Cursor visibility rule for text cursor inside text editors.
    This works as a boolean; all values above Hb::TextCursorHidden (which is zero) show the cursor somehow.
*/

/*! \var Hb::TextCursorVisibility Hb::TextCursorHidden
    No cursor is shown.
*/

/*! \var Hb::TextCursorVisibility Hb::TextCursorVisible
    Text cursor is shown blinking.
*/
/*!
    \var Hb::NoTicks
    HbSlider's Tick position flag

    Do not draw any tick marks.
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::TicksBothSides
    HbSlider's Tick position flag

    Draw tick marks on both sides of the groove.
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::TicksAbove
    HbSlider's Tick position flag

    Draw tick marks above the (horizontal) slider.
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::TicksBelow
    HbSlider's Tick position flag

    Draw tick marks below the (horizontal) slider.
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::TicksLeft
    HbSlider's Tick position flag

    Draw tick marks to the left of the (vertical) slider.
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::TicksRight
    HbSlider's Tick position flag

    Draw tick marks to the right of the (vertical) slider.
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::TicksAbsolute
    HbSlider's Tick position flag

    If the widget's layout direction is Qt::RightToLeft (instead of
    Qt::LeftToRight, the default), HbSlider::TicksLeft refers to the right edge
    and  HbSlider::TicksRight to the left edge. This is normally the desired
    behavior. If you want HbSlider::TicksLeft to always mean "left" and
    HbSlider::TicksRight to always mean "right", combine the flag with
    HbSlider::TicksAbsolute.
 */

/*!
    \enum Hb::TextContextMenuFlag
    Flags which indicate how context menu is behave in editors
    \sa  HbAbstractEdit::contextMenuFlags
*/

    Instant interactions enumeration covers different touch interactions
    supported by Hb widgets. This information is
    relayed by Hb widgets whenever user interacts with interface
    and used to trigger various instant feedback effects.

*/

/*! \var Hb::InstantAdvancedGestureActivated
        Sent when a touch gesture involving more then one finger can be performed.
        For example a second touch point is detected and a pinch gesture can be performed.
*/



/*! \var Hb::InstantInstantUser
        User-defined interaction event type.
*/

/*! \var Hb::InstantInstantMaxUser
        Last user-defined interaction event type.
*/

/*!
    \enum Hb::ContinuousInteraction
    Continuous interactions enumeration covers different touch
    gestures supported by Hb widgets. This information is
    relayed by Hb widgets whenever user interacts with interface
    and used to trigger various continuous feedback effects.
*/

        Last user-defined continuous interaction event type.
*/

/*!
    \enum Hb::InteractionModifier
    Interaction modifier enumeration is used to differentiate situations where
    same interaction trigger can cause multiple different feedback effects
    depending on the widget state.
*/

/*! \var Hb::ModifierSliderHandle
        User is touching a slider handle and not the slider itself to
        drag the slider handle across the value range. Needed because
        we cannot bass private handles trough the interaction system.
*/

/*! \var Hb::ModifierSliderElement
        User is touching a slider element and not the slider itself to
        increment/decrement volume, mute/unmute or zoom in/out slider value.
        Needed because we cannot bass private elements trough the interaction
        system.
*/

/*! \var Hb::ModifierItemExpanded
        User interaction causes the widget to expand
        it's presentation, like expanding a subtree in a
        treewidget.
*/

/*! \var Hb::ModifierItemCollapsed
        User interaction causes the widget to collapse
        it's presentation, like collapsing a subtree in a
        treewidget.
*/

/*! \var Hb::ModifierScrolling
        User touches an area that is already scrolling,
        normal feedback should not be given.

 */

/*!
    \enum Hb::BackgroundImageMode

    Controls how the background image is drawn.
*/

/*!
    \var Hb::BackgroundImageMode Hb::ScaleBackgroundToFit

    The background image is scaled to cover the entire available area. The
    aspect ratio is kept (by expanding the size if needed). The image is
    centered in the available area.
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::BackgroundImageMode Hb::ScaleBackgroundToFitWithoutExpanding

    The background image is scaled to cover most of the available area. The
    aspect ratio is kept (without expanding) so the image may not occupy the
    entire available area. The image is centered in the available area.

    Note that if the background does not fill the entire screen then there must
    be a background brush set for the scene (or transparency needs to be
    enabled), otherwise drawing problems will occur (due to certain areas not
    being painted at all).
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::BackgroundImageMode Hb::StretchBackgroundToFit

    The background image is stretched to cover the entire available area.
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::BackgroundImageMode Hb::KeepOriginalBackgroundSize

    Keeps the original size of the image, no up or downscaling occurs. The image
    is centered in the available area.

    Note that if the background does not fill the entire screen then there must
    be a background brush set for the scene (or transparency needs to be
    enabled), otherwise drawing problems will occur (due to certain areas not
    being painted at all).
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::BackgroundImageMode Hb::KeepOriginalBackgroundSizeIfSmaller

    Keeps the original size of the image only when the size is smaller than the
    available area (i.e. dynamically switches between Hb::ScaleBackgroundToFit
    and Hb::KeepOriginalBackgroundSize depending on the size of the source
    image).
 */

/*!
    \var Hb::BackgroundImageMode Hb::DoNotDrawBackground

    Does not draw the background, i.e. the paint() function of the background
    item will not do anything when this mode is set. Use this only to
    temporarily prevent the background from showing. If you need to hide the
    background item permanently then pass Hb::WindowFlagNoBackground to the
    HbMainWindow constructor because that is more efficient.

    Note that if there is no background brush set and the application does not
    enable transparency properly then setting this flag will lead to drawing
    problems because the screen will not be updated properly (because nobobdy
    paints the background).
