XAllowDeviceEvents(3X11)					    X FUNCTIONS 					  XAllowDeviceEvents(3X11)

NAME

       XAllowDeviceEvents - release queued events

SYNTAX

       XAllowDeviceEvents(display, device, event_mode, time)
	     Display *display;
	     XDevice *device;
	     int event_mode;
	     Time time;

ARGUMENTS

       display	   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       device	   Specifies the device from which events are to be allowed.

       event_mode  Specifies the event mode.  You can pass AsyncThisDevice, SyncThisDevice, ReplayThisDevice, AsyncOtherDevices, SyncAll, or Asyn-
		   cAll.

       time	   Specifies the time.	You can pass either a timestamp or CurrentTime.

DESCRIPTION

       The XAllowDeviceEvents function releases some queued events if the client has caused a device to freeze.  It has no effect if the specified
       time  is  earlier  than the last-grab time of the most recent active grab for the client and device, or if the specified time is later than
       the current X server time.

       The following describes the processing that occurs depending on what constant you pass to the event_mode argument.

       AsyncThisDevice
		   If the specified device is frozen by the client, event processing for that device continues as usual.  If the device is  frozen
		   multiple  times  by	the  client  on  behalf of multiple separate grabs, AsyncThisDevice thaws for all.  AsyncThisDevice has no
		   effect if the specified device is not frozen by the client, but the device need not be grabbed by the client.

       SyncThisDevice
		   If the specified device is frozen and actively grabbed by the client, event processing for that device continues normally until
		   the	next key or button event is reported to the client.  At this time, the specified device again appears to freeze.  However,
		   if the reported event causes the grab to be released, the specified device does not freeze.	SyncThisDevice has  no	effect	if
		   the specified device is not frozen by the client or is not grabbed by the client.

       ReplayThisDevice
		   If  the  specified  device  is  actively  grabbed by the client and is frozen as the result of an event having been sent to the
		   client (either from the activation of a GrabDeviceButton or from a previous AllowDeviceEvents with mode SyncThisDevice, but not
		   from a GrabDevice), the grab is released and that event is completely reprocessed.  This time, however, the request ignores any
		   passive grabs at or above (toward the root) that the grab-window of the grab just released.	The request has no effect  if  the
		   specified device is not grabbed by the client or if it is not frozen as the result of an event.

       AsyncOtherDevices
		   If  the  remaining  devices	are  frozen by the client, event processing for them continues as usual.  If the other devices are
		   frozen multiple times by the client on behalf of multiple grabs, AsyncOtherDevices "thaws" for all.	AsyncOtherDevices  has	no
		   effect if the devices are not frozen by the client.

       SyncAll	   If  all  devices  are  frozen by the client, event processing (for all devices) continues normally until the next button or key
		   event is reported to the client for a grabbed device, at which time all devices  again  appear  to  freeze.	 However,  if  the
		   reported  event  causes the grab to be released, then the devices do not freeze.  If any device is still grabbed, then a subse-
		   quent event for it will still cause all devices to freeze.  SyncAll has no effect unless all devices are frozen by the  client.
		   If  any  device is frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs, SyncAll thaws for both.  A subsequent freeze for
		   SyncAll will only freeze each device once.

       AsyncAll    If all devices are frozen by the client, event processing for all devices continues normally.  If any device is frozen multiple
		   times  by  the  client on behalf of multiple separate grabs, AsyncAll thaws for all.  AsyncAll has no effect unless all devices
		   are frozen by the client.

       AsyncThisDevice, SyncThisDevice, and ReplayThisDevice have no effect on the processing of events from the remaining devices.  AsyncOtherDe-
       vices  has no effect on the processing of events from the specified device.  When the event_mode is SyncAll or AsyncAll, the device parame-
       ter is ignored.

       It is possible for several grabs of different devices by the same or different clients to be active simultaneously.  If a device is  frozen
       on behalf of any grab, no event processing is performed for the device.	It is possible for a single device to be frozen because of several
       grabs.  In this case, the freeze must be released on behalf of each grab before events can again be processed.

       XAllowDeviceEvents can generate a BadDevice or BadValue error.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadDevice   An invalid device was specified.  The specified device does not exist or has not been opened by this client	via  XOpenInputDe-
		   vice.  This error may also occur if the specified device is the X keyboard or X pointer device.

       BadValue    An invalid mode was specified on the request.
