# xcb\_translate\_coordinates(3)

## NAME

xcb\_translate\_coordinates -

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<xcb/xproto.h\>**

### Request function

xcb\_translate\_coordinates\_cookie\_t **xcb\_translate\_coordinates**(xcb\_connection\_t \**conn*, xcb\_window\_t *src\_window*, xcb\_window\_t *dst\_window*, int16\_t *src\_x*, int16\_t *src\_y*);

### Reply datastructure

```

typedef struct xcb_translate_coordinates_reply_t {
    uint8_t      response_type;
    uint8_t      same_screen;
    uint16_t     sequence;
    uint32_t     length;
    xcb_window_t child;
    int16_t      dst_x;
    int16_t      dst_y;
} xcb_translate_coordinates_reply_t;
```

### Reply function

xcb\_translate\_coordinates\_reply\_t \***xcb\_translate\_coordinates\_reply**(xcb\_connection\_t \**conn*, xcb\_translate\_coordinates\_cookie\_t *cookie*, xcb\_generic\_error\_t \*\**e*);\

## REQUEST ARGUMENTS

- *conn*

  The XCB connection to X11.

- *src\_window*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

- *dst\_window*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

- *src\_x*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

- *src\_y*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

## REPLY FIELDS

- *response\_type*

  The type of this reply, in this case *XCB\_TRANSLATE\_COORDINATES*. This field is also present in the *xcb\_generic\_reply\_t* and can be used to tell replies apart from each other.

- *sequence*

  The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.

- *length*

  The length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes).

- *same\_screen*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

- *child*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

- *dst\_x*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

- *dst\_y*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

## DESCRIPTION

## RETURN VALUE

Returns an *xcb\_translate\_coordinates\_cookie\_t*. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function *xcb\_translate\_coordinates\_reply*.

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use *xcb\_translate\_coordinates\_unchecked*. See **[xcb-requests(3)](/xcb-requests/3.md)** for details.

## ERRORS

This request does never generate any errors.
