Makes a window invisible

Part of xcb_unmap_window(3).

Usage

Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_unmap_window(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_window_t window);

Request arguments

conn

window

Overview

Unmaps the specified window. This means making the window invisible (and all its child windows).

Unmapping a window leads to the UnmapNotify event being generated. Also, Expose events are generated for formerly obscured windows.

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

Errors

xcb_window_error_t

The specified window does not exist.
