XDestroyWindow(3X11)          X11 SDE 5.4R3.00          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.
