XSendExtensionEvent - send input extension events to a client
12
#include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>
14
Status XSendExtensionEvent( Display *display,
19
XEventClass *event_list,
23
Specifies the connection to the X server.
26
Specifies the device from which the events are to be
30
Specifies the window the event is to be sent to. You can
31
pass window id, PointerWindow,or InputFocus.
34
Specifies a Boolean value that is either True or False.
37
Specifies the count of XEventClasses in event_list.
40
Specifies the list of event selections to be used.
43
Specifies a pointer to the event that is to be sent.
48
The XSendExtensionEvent request identifies the destination
49
window, determines which clients should receive the specified
50
events, and ignores any active grabs. This request requires you
51
to pass an event class list. For a discussion of the valid
52
event class names, see XOpenDevice(libmansuffix) This
53
request uses the w argument to identify the destination window
55
* If w is PointerWindow,the destination window is the window
56
that contains the pointer.
57
* If w is InputFocusand if the focus window contains the
58
pointer,the destination window is the window that contains
59
the pointer; otherwise, the destination window is the focus
62
To determine which clients should receive the specified events,
63
XSendExtensionEventuses the propagate argument as follows:
64
* If event_list is the empty set,the event is sent to the
65
client that created the destination window. If that client
66
no longer exists,no event is sent.
67
* If propagate is False,the event is sent to every client
68
selecting on destination any of the eventtypes specified by
70
* If propagate is Trueand no clients have selected on
71
destination any ofthe events specified by the event_list
72
array,the destination is replaced with theclosest ancestor
73
of destination for which some client has selected atype
74
specified by the event-list array and for which no
75
interveningwindow has that type in
76
itsdo-not-propagate-mask. If no such window exists or if
77
the window isan ancestor of the focus window and
78
InputFocuswas originally specifiedas the destination, the
79
event is not sent to any clients. Otherwise, the event is
80
reported to every client selecting on the finaldestination
81
any of the events specified in the event_list array.
83
The event in the XEventstructure must be one of the events
84
defined by the input extension (or a BadValueerror results) so
85
that the X server can correctly byte-swapthe contents as
86
necessary. The contents of the event areotherwise unaltered and
87
unchecked by the X server except to force send_event to Truein
88
the forwarded event and to set the serial number in the event
91
XSendExtensionEventreturns zero if the conversion to wire
92
protocol format failedand returns nonzero
93
otherwise.XSendExtensionEventcan generate BadClass, BadDevice,
94
BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
100
An invalid device was specified. The specified device
101
does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
102
XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if the
103
specified device is the X keyboard or X pointer device.
106
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
107
accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is
108
specified for an argument, the full range defined by the
109
argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a
110
set of alternatives can generate this error.

A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
