XSetInputFocus()														  XSetInputFocus()

Name
  XSetInputFocus - set the keyboard focus window.

Synopsis
  XSetInputFocus(display, focus, revert_to, time)
	Display *display;
	Window focus;
	int revert_to;
	Time time;

Arguments
  display  Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  focus    Specifies the ID of the window you want to be the keyboard focus.  Pass the window ID, PointerRoot, or None.

  revert_to
	   Specifies  which  window  the  keyboard  focus  reverts to if the focus window becomes not viewable.  Pass one of these constants:
	   RevertToParent, RevertToPointerRoot, or RevertToNone.  Must not be a window ID.

  time	   Specifies the time when the focus change should take place.	Pass either a timestamp, expressed in milliseconds, or	the  constant
	   CurrentTime.  Also returns the time of the focus change when CurrentTime is specified.

Description
  XSetInputFocus() changes the keyboard focus and the last-focus-change time.  The function has no effect if time is earlier than the current
  last-focus-change time or later than the current X server time.  Otherwise, the last-focus-change time is set to the specified  time,  with
  CurrentTime replaced by the current X server time.

  XSetInputFocus() generates FocusIn and FocusOut events if focus is different from the current focus.

  XSetInputFocus() executes as follows, depending on what value you assign to the focus argument:

  o  If you assign None, all keyboard events are discarded until you set a new focus window.  In this case, revert_to is ignored.

  o  If  you  assign  a  window ID, it becomes the main keyboard's focus window.  If a generated keyboard event would normally be reported to
     this window or one of its inferiors, the event is reported normally; otherwise, the event is reported to the focus window.   The  speci-
     fied  focus window must be viewable at the time of the request (else a BadMatch error).  If the focus window later becomes not viewable,
     the focus window will change to the revert_to argument.

  o  If you assign PointerRoot, the focus window is dynamically taken to be the root window of whatever screen the pointer is on at each key-
     board event.  In this case, revert_to is ignored.	This is the default keyboard focus setting.

  If the focus window later becomes not viewable, XSetInputFocus() evaluates the revert_to argument to determine the new focus window:

  o  If  you  assign  RevertToParent,  the  focus reverts to the parent (or the closest viewable ancestor) automatically with a new revert_to
     argument of RevertToName.

  o  If you assign RevertToPointerRoot or RevertToNone, the focus reverts to that value automatically.	FocusIn and FocusOut events are  gen-
     erated when the focus reverts, but the last focus change time is not affected.

Errors
  BadMatch  focus window not viewable when XSetInputFocus() called.

  BadValue

  BadWindow
