XReparentWindow(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XReparentWindow(3X11)
XReparentWindow - reparent windows
int XReparentWindow(Display *display, Window w, Window
parent, int x, int y);
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.
If the specified window is mapped, XReparentWindow automati-
cally performs an UnmapWindow request on it, removes it from
its current position 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 member 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:
+ The new parent window is not on the same screen as the
old parent window.
+ The new parent window is the specified window or an
inferior of the specified window.
+ The new parent is InputOnly, and the window is not.
+ The specified window has a ParentRelative background,
and the new parent window is not the same depth as the
specified window.
