NAME
XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows
SYNTAX
int
XDestroyWindow(Display * display, Window w);
int
XDestroySubwindows(Display * display, Window w);
ARGUMENTS
- display
- Specifies the connection to the X server.
- w
- Specifies the window.
DESCRIPTION
The
XDestroyWindow function destroys the specified window as well as all
of its subwindows and causes the X server to generate a
DestroyNotify
event for each window. The window should never be referenced again. If the
window specified by the w argument is mapped, it is unmapped automatically.
The ordering of the
DestroyNotify events is such that for any given
window being destroyed,
DestroyNotify is generated on any inferiors of
the window before being generated on the window itself. The ordering among
siblings and across subhierarchies is not otherwise constrained. If the window
you specified is a root window, no windows are destroyed. Destroying a mapped
window will generate
Expose events on other windows that were obscured
by the window being destroyed.
XDestroyWindow can generate a
BadWindow error.
The
XDestroySubwindows function destroys all inferior windows of the
specified window, in bottom-to-top stacking order. It causes the X server to
generate a
DestroyNotify event for each window. If any mapped
subwindows were actually destroyed,
XDestroySubwindows causes the X
server to generate
Expose events on the specified window. This is much
more efficient than deleting many windows one at a time because much of the
work need be performed only once for all of the windows, rather than for each
window. The subwindows should never be referenced again.
XDestroySubwindows can generate a
BadWindow error.
DIAGNOSTICS
- BadWindow
- A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
Window.
