XIconifyWindow(3)		XLIB FUNCTIONS		     XIconifyWindow(3)

NAME
       XIconifyWindow, XWithdrawWindow,	XReconfigureWMWindow - manipulate top-
       level windows

SYNTAX

       Status XIconifyWindow(Display *display, Window w, int screen_number);

       Status XWithdrawWindow(Display *display,	Window w, int screen_number);

       Status XReconfigureWMWindow(Display *display, Window w, int screen_num-
	      ber, unsigned int	value_mask, XWindowChanges *values);

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       screen_number
		 Specifies the appropriate screen number on the	host server.

       value_mask
		 Specifies which values	are to be set using information	in the
		 values	 structure.   This mask	is the bitwise inclusive OR of
		 the valid configure window values bits.

       values	 Specifies the XWindowChanges structure.

       w	 Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION
       The XIconifyWindow function sends a WM_CHANGE_STATE ClientMessage event
       with a format of	32 and a first data element  of	 IconicState  (as  de-
       scribed	in section 4.1.4 of the	Inter-Client Communication Conventions
       Manual) and a window of w to the	root window of	the  specified	screen
       with an event mask set to SubstructureNotifyMask| SubstructureRedirect-
       Mask.   Window  managers	 may  elect to receive this message and	if the
       window is in its	normal state, may treat	it as a	request	to change  the
       window's	 state from normal to iconic.  If the WM_CHANGE_STATE property
       cannot be interned, XIconifyWindow does not send	a message and  returns
       a  zero	status.	  It returns a nonzero status if the client message is
       sent successfully; otherwise, it	returns	a zero status.

       The XWithdrawWindow function unmaps the specified window	 and  sends  a
       synthetic UnmapNotify event to the root window of the specified screen.
       Window managers may elect to receive this message and may treat it as a
       request to change the window's state to withdrawn.  When	a window is in
       the  withdrawn state, neither its normal	nor its	iconic representations
       is visible.  It returns a nonzero status	if the	UnmapNotify  event  is
       successfully sent; otherwise, it	returns	a zero status.

       XWithdrawWindow can generate a BadWindow	error.

       The  XReconfigureWMWindow  function issues a ConfigureWindow request on
       the specified top-level window.	If the stacking	mode  is  changed  and
       the  request  fails with	a BadMatch error, the error is trapped by Xlib
       and a synthetic ConfigureRequestEvent containing	the same configuration
       parameters is sent to the root of the specified	window.	  Window  man-
       agers  may elect	to receive this	event and treat	it as a	request	to re-
       configure the indicated window.	It returns a nonzero status if the re-
       quest or	event is successfully sent; otherwise, it returns a zero  sta-
       tus.

       XReconfigureWMWindow can	generate BadValue and BadWindow	errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadValue	 Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
		 by  the request.  Unless a specific range is specified	for an
		 argument, the full range defined by the  argument's  type  is
		 accepted.   Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
		 generate this error.

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