XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows
int XDestroyWindow(Display *display, Window
w);
int XDestroySubwindows(Display *display, Window
w);
- display
- Specifies the connection to the X server.
- w
- Specifies the window.
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.
- BadWindow
- A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
