XReparentWindow(display, w, parent, x, y)
Display *display;
Window w;

int x, y;

| parent | Specifies the parent window. |
| x y | Specify the x and y coordinates of the position in the new parent window. |
After reparenting the specified window, XReparentWindow() causes the X server to generate a ReparentNotify event. The override_redirect member returned in this event is set to the window's corresponding attribute. Window manager clients usually should ignore this window if this member is set to True . Finally, if the specified window was originally mapped, the X server automatically performs a MapWindow request on it.
The X server performs normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows. The X server might not generate Expose events for regions from the initial UnmapWindow request that are immediately obscured by the final MapWindow request. A BadMatch error results if:
XReparentWindow() can generate BadMatch and BadWindow errors.
| BadMatch | An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable. |
| BadMatch | Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails to match in some other way required by the request. |
| BadWindow | A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. |
