xcb_set_input_focus_checked3

Usage

Request arguments

conn

The XCB connection to X11.

revert_to

One of the following values:

XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_NONE

The focus reverts to XCB_NONE, so no window will have the input focus.

XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_POINTER_ROOT

The focus reverts to XCB_POINTER_ROOT respectively. When the focus reverts, FocusIn and FocusOut events are generated, but the last-focus-change time is not changed.

XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_PARENT

The focus reverts to the parent (or closest viewable ancestor) and the new revert_to value is XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_NONE.

XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_FOLLOW_KEYBOARD

NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Only relevant for the xinput extension.

Specifies what happens when the focus window becomes unviewable (if focus is neither XCB_NONE nor XCB_POINTER_ROOT).

focus

The window to focus. All keyboard events will be reported to this window. The window must be viewable (TODO), or a xcb_match_error_t occurs (TODO).

If focus is XCB_NONE (TODO), all keyboard events are discarded until a new focus window is set.

If focus is XCB_POINTER_ROOT (TODO), focus is on the root window of the screen on which the pointer is on currently.

time

Timestamp to avoid race conditions when running X over the network.

The special value XCB_CURRENT_TIME will be replaced with the current server time.

Overview

Changes the input focus and the last-focus-change time. If the specified time is earlier than the current last-focus-change time, the request is ignored (to avoid race conditions when running X over the network).

A FocusIn and FocusOut event is generated when focus is changed.

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_set_input_focus_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
