NAME

XUnmapWindow − unmap a window. 

Synopsis

XUnmapWindow(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;

Arguments

displaySpecifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay(). 

wSpecifies the window ID. 

Description

XUnmapWindow() removes w and all its descendants from the screen (but does not unmap the descendents).  If w is already unmapped, XUnmapWindow() has no effect.  Otherwise, w is unmapped and an UnmapNotify event is generated.  Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed.  Descendants of w will not be visible until w is mapped again.  In other words, the subwindows are still mapped, but are not visible because w is unmapped.  Unmapping a window will generate exposure events on windows that were formerly obscured by w.  For more information on window mapping, see Volume One, Chapter 2, X Concepts. 

Errors
