Or use flags that are objects, not bits in an integer.  With operator 
overloading it could be made to behave nearly the same as the bits do 
today, but instead of an integer the widget would be getting an instance 
of some flags container class that can be asked if a particular flag is 
set.  There would then be no limits on how many flags are possible, and 
we could even eventually have some sort of validation checks that 
asserts if a particular flag is not applicable to a specific widget type.
