Specifies the connection to the X server.
Specifies
the appropriate screen number on the host server.
Specifies which values
are to be set using information in the values structure. This mask is the
bitwise inclusive OR of the valid configure window values bits.
Specifies
the XWindowChanges structure.
Specifies the window.
The XIconifyWindow
function sends a WM_CHANGE_STATE ClientMessage event with a format
of 32 and a first data element of IconicState (as described in section
4.1.4 of the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual) and a window
of w to the root window of the specified screen with an event mask set
to SubstructureNotifyMask| SubstructureRedirectMask. Window managers
may elect to receive this message and if the window is in its normal state,
may treat it as a request to change the window's state from normal to iconic.
If the WM_CHANGE_STATE property cannot be interned, XIconifyWindow does
not send a message and returns a zero status. It returns a nonzero status
if the client message is sent successfully; otherwise, it returns a zero
status.
The XWithdrawWindow function unmaps the specified window and
sends a synthetic UnmapNotify event to the root window of the specified
screen. Window managers may elect to receive this message and may treat
it as a request to change the window's state to withdrawn. When a window
is in the withdrawn state, neither its normal nor its iconic representations
is visible. It returns a nonzero status if the UnmapNotify event is successfully
sent; otherwise, it returns a zero status.
XWithdrawWindow can generate
a BadWindow error.
The XReconfigureWMWindow function issues a ConfigureWindow
request on the specified top-level window. If the stacking mode is changed
and the request fails with a BadMatch error, the error is trapped by
Xlib and a synthetic ConfigureRequestEvent containing the same configuration
parameters is sent to the root of the specified window. Window managers
may elect to receive this event and treat it as a request to reconfigure
the indicated window. It returns a nonzero status if the request or event
is successfully sent; otherwise, it returns a zero status.
XReconfigureWMWindow
can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.
- BadValue
-
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives
can generate this error.
- BadWindow
- A value for a Window argument does
not name a defined Window.
