XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows
int XUnmapWindow(Display *display, Window w);
int XUnmapSubwindows(Display *display, Window
w);
- display
- Specifies the connection to the X server.
- w
- Specifies the window.
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.
- BadWindow
- A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
