XRaiseWindow() XRaiseWindow()
Name
XRaiseWindow - raise a window to the top of the stacking order.
Synopsis
XRaiseWindow(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
Arguments
display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().
w Specifies the ID of the window to be raised to the top of the stack.
Description
XRaiseWindow() moves a window to the top of the stacking order among its siblings. If the windows are regarded as overlapping sheets of
paper stacked on a desk, then raising a window is analogous to moving the sheet to the top of the stack, while leaving its x and y location
on the desk constant.
Raising a mapped window may generate exposure events for that window and any mapped subwindows of that window that were formerly obscured.
If the override_redirect attribute of the window (see Volume One, Chapter 4, Window Attributes) is False and the window manager has
selected SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, then a ConfigureRequest event is sent to the window manager, and no further processing is
performed.
Errors
BadWindow
