XReparentWindow(3)		 XLIB FUNCTIONS 	      XReparentWindow(3)

NAME
     XReparentWindow - reparent windows

SYNTAX
     int  XReparentWindow(Display  *display, Window w, Window parent, int x, int
	    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 coordinates of 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 man-
     ager 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 Map-
     Window 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 par-
	  ent 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.
