XReparentWindow(3X11)						  XLIB FUNCTIONS					     XReparentWindow(3X11)

NAME

       XReparentWindow - reparent windows

SYNTAX

       int XReparentWindow(Display *display, Window w, Window parent, int x, int 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 coordinatesof 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 posi-
       tion 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 mem-
       ber 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:

       o    The new parent window is not on the same screen as the old parent window.

       o    The new parent window is the specified window or an inferior of the specified window.

       o    The new parent is InputOnly, and the window is not.

       o    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.

XUnmapWindow(3X11)						  XLIB FUNCTIONS						XUnmapWindow(3X11)

NAME

       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

SYNTAX

       int XUnmapWindow(Display *display, Window w);

       int XUnmapSubwindows(Display *display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w	 Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION

       The XUnmapWindow function unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an UnmapNotify event.	If the specified window is
       already unmapped, XUnmapWindow has no effect.  Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed.  Any child window will
       no longer be visible until another map call is made on the parent.  In other words, the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible
       until the parent is mapped.  Unmapping a window will generate Expose events on windows that were formerly obscured by it.

       XUnmapWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XUnmapSubwindows function unmaps all subwindows for the specified window in bottom-to-top stacking order.  It causes the X server to
       generate an UnmapNotify event on each subwindow and Expose events on formerly obscured windows.	Using this function is much more efficient
       than unmapping multiple windows one at a time because the server needs to perform much of the work only once, for all of the windows,
       rather than for each window.

       XUnmapSubwindows can generate a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
