xcb_configure_window(3) XCB Requests xcb_configure_window(3)NAME
xcb_configure_window - Configures window attributes
SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h>
Request function
xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_configure_window(xcb_connection_t *conn,
xcb_window_t window, uint16_t value_mask, const
uint32_t *value_list);
REQUEST ARGUMENTS
conn The XCB connection to X11.
window The window to configure.
value_mask
Bitmask of attributes to change.
value_list
New values, corresponding to the attributes in value_mask.
The order has to correspond to the order of possible val‐
ue_mask bits. See the example.
DESCRIPTION
Configures a window's size, position, border width and stacking order.
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_configure_window_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
ERRORS
xcb_window_error_t
The specified window does not exist. TODO: any other reason?
xcb_value_error_t
TODO: reasons?
xcb_match_error_t
You specified a Sibling without also specifying StackMode or
the window is not actually a Sibling.
EXAMPLE
/*
* Configures the given window to the left upper corner
* with a size of 1024x768 pixels.
*
*/
void my_example(xcb_connection *c, xcb_window_t window) {
uint16_t mask = 0;
mask |= XCB_CONFIG_WINDOW_X;
mask |= XCB_CONFIG_WINDOW_Y;
mask |= XCB_CONFIG_WINDOW_WIDTH;
mask |= XCB_CONFIG_WINDOW_HEIGHT;
const uint32_t values[] = {
0, /* x */
0, /* y */
1024, /* width */
768 /* height */
};
xcb_configure_window(c, window, mask, values);
xcb_flush(c);
}
