NAME
XFilterEvent - filter X events for an input method
SYNTAX
-
- Bool XFilterEvent(XEvent *event, Window w);
ARGUMENTS
- event
-
Specifies the event to filter.
- w
-
Specifies the window for which the filter is to be applied.
DESCRIPTION
If the window argument is
None,
XFilterEvent
applies the filter to the window specified in the
XEvent
structure.
The window argument is provided so that layers above Xlib
that do event redirection can indicate to which window an event
has been redirected.
If
XFilterEvent
returns
True,
then some input method has filtered the event,
and the client should discard the event.
If
XFilterEvent
returns
False,
then the client should continue processing the event.
If a grab has occurred in the client and
XFilterEvent
returns
True,
the client should ungrab the keyboard.
