XUnmapWindow(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XUnmapWindow(3X11)
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 win-
dows is performed. Any child window will no longer be visi-
ble 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.
