Deprecated: All APIs that are using this enumeration have been deprecated in favor of alternatives using #GtkStateFlags.
This type indicates the current state of a widget; the state determines how the widget is drawn. The #GtkStateType enumeration is also used to identify different colors in a #GtkStyle for drawing, so states can be used for subparts of a widget as well as entire widgets.
