XReparentWindow(3X11)
X11R6
NAME
XReparentWindow - reparent windows
SYNOPSIS
XReparentWindow(display, w, parent, x, y)
Display *display;
Window w;
Window parent;
int x, y;
ARGUMENTS
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
parent
Specifies the parent window.
w Specifies the window.
x
y Specify the x and y coordinates of the position in the new parent
window.
DESCRIPTION
If the specified window is mapped, XReparentWindow automatically performs
an UnmapWindow request on it, removes it from its current position in the
hierarchy, and inserts it as the child of the specified parent. The window
is placed in the stacking order on top with respect to sibling windows.
After reparenting the specified window, XReparentWindow causes the X server
to generate a ReparentNotify event. The override_redirect member returned
in this event is set to the window's corresponding attribute. Window
manager clients usually should ignore this window if this member is set to
True. Finally, if the specified window was originally mapped, the X server
automatically performs a MapWindow request on it.
The X server performs normal exposure processing on formerly obscured
windows. The X server might not generate Expose events for regions from the
initial UnmapWindow request that are immediately obscured by the final
MapWindow request. A BadMatch error results if:
· The new parent window is not on the same screen as the old parent
window.
· The new parent window is the specified window or an inferior of the
specified window.
· The new parent is InputOnly, and the window is not.
· The specified window has a ParentRelative background, and the new
parent window is not the same depth as the specified window.
XReparentWindow can generate BadMatch and BadWindow errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadWindow
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
