XDestroyWindow(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XDestroyWindow(3)
NAME
XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows
SYNTAX
int XDestroyWindow(Display *
display, Window
w);
int XDestroySubwindows(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.
