Name

XtMoveWidget — move a widget on the display. 

Synopsis

void XtMoveWidget(w, x, y)

    Widget w;
    Position x;
    Position y;

Arguments

wSpecifies the widget to be moved. 

x, ySpecify the new widget x and y coordinates. 

Description

XtMoveWidget returns immediately if the specified geometry fields for the widget are the same as the old values.  Otherwise, XtMoveWidget writes the new x and y values into the widget and, if the widget is realized, issues an Xlib XMoveWindow call on the widget’s window. 

The XtConfigureWidget widget resizes and moves a widget.  A parent widget can use XtMoveWidget or XtConfigureWidget to rearrange its children on the display.  A child widget must use XtMakeGeometryRequest and XtMakeResizeRequest to ask its parent to move or resize it; it cannot move or resize itself.
