XUnmapWindow(3)

NAME

   XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

SYNTAX

   int XUnmapWindow(Display *display, Window w);

   int XUnmapSubwindows(Display *display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS

   display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

   w         Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION

   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.

DIAGNOSTICS

   BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
