NAME
xcb_reparent_window - Reparents a window
SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h>
Request function
-
- xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_reparent_window(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_window_t window, xcb_window_t parent, int16_t x, int16_t y);
REQUEST ARGUMENTS
- conn
-
The XCB connection to X11.
- window

The new parent of the window.
- x
-
The X position of the window within its new parent.

DESCRIPTION
Makes the specified window a child of the specified parent window. If the
window is mapped, it will automatically be unmapped before reparenting and
re-mapped after reparenting. The window is placed in the stacking order on top
with respect to sibling windows.
After reparenting, a ReparentNotify event is generated.
RETURN VALUE
Returns an
xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.
If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_reparent_window_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
