XDestroyWindow(3X11)X Version 11 (Release 4) XDestroyWindow(3X11)



  NAME
       XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows

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

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

  ARGUMENTS
       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w         Specifies the window.

  DESCRIPTION
       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.

  DIAGNOSTICS
       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
                 defined Window.
