XReparentWindow(3X11)	       XLIB FUNCTIONS		XReparentWindow(3X11)



NAME
  XReparentWindow - reparent windows

SYNTAX
  XReparentWindow(display, w, parent, x, y)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	Window parent;
	int x, y;

ARGUMENTS

  display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

  parent    Specifies the parent window.

  w	    Specifies the window.

  x
  y	    Specify the x and y coordinatesof the position in the new parent
	    window.

DESCRIPTION
  If the specified window is mapped, XReparentWindow automatically performs
  an UnmapWindow request on it, removes it from its current position in the
  hierarchy, and inserts it as the child of the specified parent.  The window
  is placed in the stacking order on top with respect to sibling windows.

  After reparenting the specified window, XReparentWindow causes the X server
  to generate a ReparentNotify event.  The override_redirect member returned
  in this event is set to the window's corresponding attribute.	 Window
  manager clients usually should ignore this window if this member is set to
  True.	 Finally, if the specified window was originally mapped, the X server
  automatically performs a MapWindow request on it.

  The X server performs normal exposure processing on formerly obscured win-
  dows.	 The X server might not generate Expose events for regions from the
  initial UnmapWindow request that are immediately obscured by the final
  MapWindow request.  A BadMatch error results if:

  +    The new parent window is not on the same screen as the old parent win-
       dow.

  +    The new parent window is the specified window or an inferior of the
       specified window.

  +    The new parent is InputOnly, and the window is not.

  +    The specified window has a ParentRelative background, and the new
       parent window is not the same depth as the specified window.

  XReparentWindow can generate BadMatch and BadWindow errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

  BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
