XUnmapWindow(3X11)                   BSD                    XUnmapWindow(3X11)



NAME
     XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

SYNTAX
     XUnmapWindow(display, w)
           Display *display;
           Window w;

     XUnmapSubwindows(display, w)
           Display *display;
           Window w;

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     w         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 processing
     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
     generate an UnmapNotify event on each subwindow and Expose events on
     formerly 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
     BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
