     X Version 11 (1 September 1988)           XDestroyWindow(XS)



     NAME
          XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows


     SYNTAX
          XDestroyWindow(display, w)
                Display *display;
                Window w;

          XDestroySubwindows(display, w)
                Display *display;
                Window w;


     ARGUMENTS
          display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

          w         Specifies the window.


     DESCRIPTION
          The XDestroyWindow function destroys the specified window as
          well as all of its subwindows and causes the X server to
          generate a DestroyNotify event for each window.  The window
          should never be referenced again.  If the window specified
          by the w argument is mapped, it is unmapped automatically.
          The ordering of the DestroyNotify events is such that for
          any given window being destroyed, DestroyNotify is generated
          on any inferiors of the window before being generated on the
          window itself.  The ordering among siblings and across
          subhierarchies is not otherwise constrained.  If the window
          you specified is a root window, no windows are destroyed.
          Destroying a mapped window will generate Expose events on
          other windows that were obscured by the window being
          destroyed.

          XDestroyWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

          The XDestroySubwindows function destroys all inferior
          windows of the specified window, in bottom-to-top stacking
          order.  It causes the X server to generate a DestroyNotify
          event for each window.  If any mapped subwindows were
          actually destroyed, XDestroySubwindows causes the X server
          to generate Expose events on the specified window.  This is
          much more efficient than deleting many windows one at a time
          because much of the work need be performed only once for all
          of the windows, rather than for each window.  The subwindows
          should never be referenced again.

          XDestroySubwindows can generate a BadWindow error.


     DIAGNOSTICS
          BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
                    defined Window.
