XReparentWindow(3X11)					 XReparentWindow(3X11)

NAME
       XReparentWindow - reparent windows

SYNOPSIS
       XReparentWindow(display, w, parent, x, y)
	       Display *display;
	       Window w;
	       Window parent;
	       int x, y;

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies the connection to the X server.  Specifies the parent window.
       Specifies the window.  Specify the x and y coordinates of the  position
       in the new parent window.

DESCRIPTION
       If  the	specified window is mapped, XReparentWindow automatically per‐
       forms an UnmapWindow request on it, removes it from its	current	 posi‐
       tion  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  mem‐
       ber  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 origi‐
       nally 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 spec‐
       ified 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
       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
