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.
