SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/XInput2.h>
XISetClientPointer(
Display *display,
Window win,
int deviceid);
Bool
XIGetClientPointer( Display *display,
Window win,
int *device);
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
win
Specifies a window belonging to the client. May be None.
deviceid
Specifies the ClientPointer device.
DESCRIPTION
The
ClientPointer is the device that is percieved to be the
core pointer for non−XI protocol requests and replies.
Each
time a protocol message needs device−dependent data
and the
device is not explicitly given, the ClientPointer device is
used to obtain the data. For example, a XQueryPointer
request
will return the coordinates of the ClientPointer.
XISetClientPointer
request sets the ClientPointer device for
the client that owns the given window. If win is None, the
requesting client´s ClientPointer is set to the device
specified with deviceid. Only master pointer devices can be
set
as ClientPointer.
XISetClientPointer
and can generate a BadDevice and a BadWindow
error.
The
XIGetClientPointer request returns the ClientPointer´s
device ID for the client that owns the given window. If win
is
None, the requesting client´s ClientPointer is
returned.
win may be a client ID instead of a window.
XIGetClientPointer can generate a BadWindow error.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice
An invalid device was specified. The device does not
exist or is not a master pointer device.
BadWindow
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
window.
