XUnmapWindow(3X11)  X Version 11 (Release 4)   XUnmapWindow(3X11)



  NAME
       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

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

       XUnmapSubwindows(display, w)
             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 UnmapNotify event.  If
       the specified window is already unmapped, XUnmapWindow has
       no effect.  Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured
       windows is performed.  Any child window will no longer be
       visible 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 stacking 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
       multiple 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.
