XReparentWindow - reparent windows
SYNTAX¶
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

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.
