     NAME
          XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList, XGetDeviceDontPropagateList
          - query or change the dont-propagate-list for extension
          devices

     SYNTAX
          XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList(display, window, count,
          event_list, mode)
                Display *display;
                Window *window;
                int *count;
                XEventClass *event_list;
                int mode;
          XEventClass *XGetDeviceDontPropagateList(display, window,
          count)
                Display *display;
                Window *window;
                int *count;

     ARGUMENTS
          display     Specifies the connection to the X server.

          window      Specifies the window whose dont-propagate-list
                      is to be queried or modified.

          event_list  Specifies a pointer to a list of event classes.

          mode        Specifies the mode.  You can pass AddToList , or
                      DeleteFromList.

          count       Specifies the number of event classes in the
                      list.

     DESCRIPTION
          The XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList request modifies the list
          of events that should not be propagated to ancestors of the
          event window.  This request allows extension events to be
          added to or deleted from that list.  By default, all events
          are propagated to ancestor windows.  Once modified, the list
          remains modified for the life of the window.  Events are not
          removed from the list because the client that added them has
          terminated.

          Suppression of event propagation is not allowed for all
          input extension events.  If a specified event class is one
          that cannot be suppressed, a BadClass error will result.
          Events that can be suppressed include DeviceKeyPress,
          DeviceKeyRelease, DeviceButtonPress, DeviceButtonRelease,
          DeviceMotionNotify, ProximityIn, and ProximityOut.

          XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList can generate a BadDevice,
          BadClass, or BadValue error.

ntPropagateList(3X11)
The XGetDeviceDontPropagateList request queries the list of events that should not be propagated to ancestors of the event window. XGetDeviceDontPropagateList can generate a BadClass or BadWindow error. DIAGNOSTICS BadDevice An invalid device was specified. The specified device does not exist or has not been opened by this client via XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if some other client has caused the specified device to become the X keyboard or X pointer device via the XChangeKeyboardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests. BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error. BadWindow An invalid window id was specified. BadClass An invalid event class was specified.
