int XReparentWindow(Display *display, Window w, Window
parent, int x, int y);
ARGUMENTS
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.
DESCRIPTION
If the specified window is mapped,
XReparentWindow
automatically 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.
XReparentWindow
can generate
BadMatch
and
BadWindow
errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadWindow
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
