XWarpPointer - move pointer
- int XWarpPointer(Display *display, Window src_w, Window
- dest_w, int
src_x, int src_y, unsigned int src_width, unsigned int src_height, int
dest_x, int dest_y);
- dest_w
- Specifies the destination window or
None.
- dest_x
- dest_y
- Specify the x and y coordinates within the destination window.
- display
- Specifies
the connection to the X server.
- src_x
- src_y
- src_width
- src_height
- Specify a rectangle in the source window.
- src_w
- Specifies the
source window or None.
If dest_w is None, XWarpPointer
moves the pointer by the offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the current
position of the pointer. If dest_w is a window, XWarpPointer moves the
pointer to the offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the origin of dest_w.
However, if src_w is a window, the move only takes place if the window
src_w contains the pointer and if the specified rectangle of src_w contains
the pointer.
The src_x and src_y coordinates are relative to the origin
of src_w. If src_height is zero, it is replaced with the current height
of src_w minus src_y. If src_width is zero, it is replaced with the current
width of src_w minus src_x.
There is seldom any reason for calling this
function. The pointer should normally be left to the user. If you do use
this function, however, it generates events just as if the user had instantaneously
moved the pointer from one position to another. Note that you cannot use
XWarpPointer to move the pointer outside the confine_to window of an
active pointer grab. An attempt to do so will only move the pointer as far
as the closest edge of the confine_to window.
XWarpPointer can generate
a BadWindow error.
- BadWindow
- A value for a Window argument
does not name a defined Window.
