XUnmapWindow(3)                                XLIB FUNCTIONS                                XUnmapWindow(3)



NAME
       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

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

       int XUnmapSubwindows(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 UnmapNo-tify UnmapNotify
       tify event.  If the specified window is already unmapped, XUnmapWindow has no effect.  Normal expo-sure exposure
       sure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed.  Any child window will no longer be visi-ble visible
       ble 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 stack-ing stacking
       ing 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 mul-tiple multiple
       tiple 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.
