XUnmapWindow(3X11)XUnmapWindow(3X11)NAME
XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows
SYNOPSIS
XUnmapWindow(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
XUnmapSubwindows(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the connection to the X server. 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 process‐
ing 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 gen‐
erate an UnmapNotify event on each subwindow and Expose events on for‐
merly 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
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
