XDestroyWindow(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XDestroyWindow(3X11)NAME
XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows
SYNTAX
XDestroyWindow(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
XDestroySubwindows(display, w)
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 win-
dow, 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 win-
dows 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.
