XRaiseWindow 3X11 __xorgversion__ XLIB FUNCTIONS XRaiseWindow XLowerWindow XCirculateSubwindows XCirculateSubwindowsUp XCirculateSubwindowsDown XRestackWindows change window stacking order int XRaiseWindow ( Display *display , Window w ); int XLowerWindow ( Display *display , Window w ); int XCirculateSubwindows ( Display *display , Window w , int direction ); int XCirculateSubwindowsUp ( Display *display , Window w ); int XCirculateSubwindowsDown ( Display *display , Window w ); int XRestackWindows ( Display *display , Window windows [], int nwindows ); direction Specifies the direction (up or down) that you want to circulate the window. You can pass  RaiseLowest  or  LowerHighest . display Specifies the connection to the X server. nwindows Specifies the number of windows to be restacked. w Specifies the window. windows Specifies an array containing the windows to be restacked. The  XRaiseWindow  function raises the specified window to the top of the stack so that no sibling window obscures it. If the windows are regarded as overlapping sheets of paper stacked on a desk, then raising a window is analogous to moving the sheet to the top of the stack but leaving its x and y location on the desk constant. Raising a mapped window may generate  Expose  events for the window and any mapped subwindows that were formerly obscured. If the override-redirect attribute of the window is  False  and some other client has selected  SubstructureRedirectMask  on the parent, the X server generates a  ConfigureRequest  event, and no processing is performed. Otherwise, the window is raised.  XRaiseWindow  can generate a  BadWindow  error. The  XLowerWindow  function lowers the specified window to the bottom of the stack so that it does not obscure any sibling windows. If the windows are regarded as overlapping sheets of paper stacked on a desk, then lowering a window is analogous to moving the sheet to the bottom of the stack but leaving its x and y location on the desk constant. Lowering a mapped window will generate  Expose  events on any windows it formerly obscured. If the override-redirect attribute of the window is  False  and some other client has selected  SubstructureRedirectMask  on the parent, the X server generates a  ConfigureRequest  event, and no processing is performed. Otherwise, the window is lowered to the bottom of the stack.  XLowerWindow  can generate a  BadWindow  error. The  XCirculateSubwindows  function circulates children of the specified window in the specified direction. If you specify  RaiseLowest ,  XCirculateSubwindows  raises the lowest mapped child (if any) that is occluded by another child to the top of the stack. If you specify  LowerHighest ,  XCirculateSubwindows  lowers the highest mapped child (if any) that occludes another child to the bottom of the stack. Exposure processing is then performed on formerly obscured windows. If some other client has selected  SubstructureRedirectMask  on the window, the X server generates a  CirculateRequest  event, and no further processing is performed. If a child is actually restacked, the X server generates a  CirculateNotify  event.  XCirculateSubwindows  can generate  BadValue  and  BadWindow  errors. The  XCirculateSubwindowsUp  function raises the lowest mapped child of the specified window that is partially or completely occluded by another child. Completely unobscured children are not affected. This is a convenience function equivalent to  XCirculateSubwindows  with  RaiseLowest  specified.  XCirculateSubwindowsUp  can generate a  BadWindow  error. The  XCirculateSubwindowsDown  function lowers the highest mapped child of the specified window that partially or completely occludes another child. Completely unobscured children are not affected. This is a convenience function equivalent to  XCirculateSubwindows  with  LowerHighest  specified.  XCirculateSubwindowsDown  can generate a  BadWindow  error. The  XRestackWindows  function restacks the windows in the order specified, from top to bottom. The stacking order of the first window in the windows array is unaffected, but the other windows in the array are stacked underneath the first window, in the order of the array. The stacking order of the other windows is not affected. For each window in the window array that is not a child of the specified window, a  BadMatch  error results. If the override-redirect attribute of a window is  False  and some other client has selected  SubstructureRedirectMask  on the parent, the X server generates  ConfigureRequest  events for each window whose override-redirect flag is not set, and no further processing is performed. Otherwise, the windows will be restacked in top-to-bottom order.  XRestackWindows  can generate  BadWindow  error.  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.
