XUnmapWindow(3X11) X Version 11 (Release 5) 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.
