 "NAME"
XSendExtensionEvent - send input extension events to a client

 "SYNOPSIS"
#include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>



Status XSendExtensionEvent( Display *display,
 XDevice *device,
 Window destination,
 Bool propagate,
 int event_count,
 XEventClass *event_list,
 XEvent *event_send);



display
 Specifies the connection to the X server.



device
 Specifies the device from which the events are to be
 sent.



destination
 Specifies the window the event is to be sent to. You can
 pass window id, PointerWindow,or InputFocus.



propagate
 Specifies a Boolean value that is either True or False.



event_count
 Specifies the count of XEventClasses in event_list.



event_list
 Specifies the list of event selections to be used.



event_send
 Specifies a pointer to the event that is to be sent.



 "DESCRIPTION"

.\}

The XSendExtensionEvent request identifies the destination
window, determines which clients should receive the specified
events, and ignores any active grabs. This request requires you
to pass an event class list. For a discussion of the valid
event class names, see XOpenDevice(libmansuffix) This
request uses the w argument to identify the destination window
as follows:
 * If w is PointerWindow,the destination window is the window
 that contains the pointer.
 * If w is InputFocusand if the focus window contains the
 pointer,the destination window is the window that contains
 the pointer; otherwise, the destination window is the focus
 window.




.\}


.\}

To determine which clients should receive the specified events,
XSendExtensionEventuses the propagate argument as follows:
 * If event_list is the empty set,the event is sent to the
 client that created the destination window. If that client
 no longer exists,no event is sent.
 * If propagate is False,the event is sent to every client
 selecting on destination any of the eventtypes specified by
 the event_list array.
 * If propagate is Trueand no clients have selected on
 destination any ofthe events specified by the event_list
 array,the destination is replaced with theclosest ancestor
 of destination for which some client has selected atype
 specified by the event-list array and for which no
 interveningwindow has that type in
 itsdo-not-propagate-mask. If no such window exists or if
 the window isan ancestor of the focus window and
 InputFocuswas originally specifiedas the destination, the
 event is not sent to any clients. Otherwise, the event is
 reported to every client selecting on the finaldestination
 any of the events specified in the event_list array.




.\}


.\}

The event in the XEventstructure must be one of the events
defined by the input extension (or a BadValueerror results) so
that the X server can correctly byte-swapthe contents as
necessary. The contents of the event areotherwise unaltered and
unchecked by the X server except to force send_event to Truein
the forwarded event and to set the serial number in the event
correctly.




.\}


.\}

XSendExtensionEventreturns zero if the conversion to wire
protocol format failedand returns nonzero
otherwise.XSendExtensionEventcan generate BadClass, BadDevice,
BadValue, and BadWindow errors.




.\}

 "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 the
 specified device is the X keyboard or X pointer device.




.\}


.\}

BadValue
 Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
 accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is
 specified for an argument, the full range defined by the
 argument\*(Aqs type is accepted. Any argument defined as a
 set of alternatives can generate this error.




.\}


.\}

BadWindow
 A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
 window.
