NAME
XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList, XGetDeviceDontPropagateList - query or
change the dont-propagate-list for extension devices
SYNTAX
int XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList(Display *display, Window *window,
int *count, XEventClass *event_list, int mode);
XEventClass *XGetDeviceDontPropagateList(Display *display, Window
*window, int *count);
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
window Specifies the window whose dont-propagate-list is to be
queried or modified.
event_list Specifies a pointer to a list of event classes.
mode Specifies the mode. You can pass AddToList , or Delete-
FromList.
count Specifies the number of event classes in the list.
DESCRIPTION
The XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList request modifies the list of events
that should not be propagated to ancestors of the event window. This
request allows extension events to be added to or deleted from that
list. By default, all events are propagated to ancestor windows.
Once modified, the list remains modified for the life of the window.
Events are not removed from the list because the client that added
them has terminated.
Suppression of event propagation is not allowed for all input exten-
sion events. If a specified event class is one that cannot be sup-
pressed, a BadClass error will result. Events that can be suppressed
include DeviceKeyPress, DeviceKeyRelease, DeviceButtonPress, Device-
ButtonRelease, DeviceMotionNotify, ProximityIn, and ProximityOut.
XChangeDeviceDontPropagateList can generate a BadDevice, BadClass, or
BadValue error.
The XGetDeviceDontPropagateList request queries the list of events
that should not be propagated to ancestors of the event window.
XGetDeviceDontPropagateList can generate a BadClass or BadWindow
error.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice An invalid device was specified. The specified device
does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if some other
client has caused the specified device to become the X
keyboard or X pointer device via the XChangeKeyboardDevice
or XChangePointerDevice requests.
BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is spec-
ified for an argument, the full range defined by the argu-
ment’s type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
alternatives can generate this error.
BadWindow An invalid window id was specified.
BadClass An invalid event class was specified.
