XReparentWindow(3X11)       X Version 11(Release 5)       XReparentWindow(3X11)


NAME
      XReparentWindow - reparent windows

SYNTAX
      XReparentWindow(display, w, parent, x, y)
            Display *display;
            Window w;
            Window parent;
            int x, y;

ARGUMENTS
      display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

      parent    Specifies the parent window.

      w         Specifies the window.

      x
      y         Specify the x and y coordinatesof the position in the new
                parent window.

DESCRIPTION
      If the specified window is mapped, XReparentWindow automatically performs
      an UnmapWindow request on it, removes it from its current position in the
      hierarchy, and inserts it as the child of the specified parent.  The
      window is placed in the stacking order on top with respect to sibling
      windows.

      After reparenting the specified window, XReparentWindow causes the X
      server to generate a ReparentNotify event.  The override_redirect member
      returned in this event is set to the window's corresponding attribute.
      Window manager clients usually should ignore this window if this member
      is set to True.  Finally, if the specified window was originally mapped,
      the X server automatically performs a MapWindow request on it.

      The X server performs normal exposure processing on formerly obscured
      windows.  The X server might not generate Expose events for regions from
      the initial UnmapWindow request that are immediately obscured by the
      final MapWindow request.  A BadMatch error results if:

      ⊕    The new parent window is not on the same screen as the old parent
           window.

      ⊕    The new parent window is the specified window or an inferior of the
           specified window.

      ⊕    The new parent is InputOnly and the window is not.

      ⊕    The specified window has a ParentRelative background, and the new
           parent window is not the same depth as the specified window.
