tk_mapwindow(3)
NAME
Tk_MapWindow, Tk_UnmapWindow - map or unmap a window
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h> Tk_Window Tk_MapWindow(tkwin) Tk_UnmapWindow(tkwin)
ARGUMENTS
Tk_Window tkwin (in) Token for window.
DESCRIPTION
These procedures may be used to map and unmap windows man
aged by Tk. Tk_MapWindow maps the window given by tkwin,
and also creates an X window corresponding to tkwin if it
doesn't already exist. See the Tk_CreateWindow manual
entry for information on deferred window creation.
Tk_UnmapWindow unmaps tkwin's window from the screen.
If tkwin is a child window (i.e. Tk_CreateWindow was used
to create a child window), then event handlers interested
in map and unmap events are invoked immediately. If tkwin
isn't an internal window, then the event handlers will be
invoked later, after X has seen the request and returned
an event for it.
These procedures should be used in place of the X proce
dures XMapWindow and XUnmapWindow, since they update Tk's
local data structure for tkwin. Applications using Tk
should not invoke XMapWindow and XUnmapWindow directly.
