+otherwise, the destination window is the focus window. +.LP +To determine which clients should receive the specified events, +.ZN XSendEvent +uses the propagate argument as follows: +.IP \(bu 5 +If event_mask 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. +.IP \(bu 5 +If propagate is +.ZN False , +the event is sent to every client selecting on destination any of the event +types in the event_mask argument. +.IP \(bu 5 +If propagate is +.ZN True +and no clients have selected on destination any of +the event types in event-mask, the destination is replaced with the +closest ancestor of destination for which some client has selected a +type in event-mask and for which no intervening window has that type in its +do-not-propagate-mask. +If no such window exists or if the window is +an ancestor of the focus window and +.ZN InputFocus +was originally specified +as the destination, the event is not sent to any clients. +Otherwise, the event is reported to every client selecting on the final +destination any of the types specified in event_mask. +.LP +The event in the +.ZN XEvent +structure must be one of the core events or one of the events +defined by an extension (or a +.ZN BadValue +error results) so that the X server can correctly byte-swap +the contents as necessary. +The contents of the event are +otherwise unaltered and unchecked by the X server except to force send_event to +.ZN True +in the forwarded event and to set the serial number in the event correctly; +therefore these fields +and the display field are ignored by +.ZN XSendEvent . +.LP +.ZN XSendEvent +returns zero if the conversion to wire protocol format failed +and returns nonzero otherwise. +.ZN XSendEvent +can generate +.ZN BadValue +and +.ZN BadWindow +errors. +.LP +The server may retain the recent history of the pointer motion +and do so to a finer granularity than is reported by +.ZN MotionNotify +events. +The +.ZN XGetMotionEvents +function makes this history available. +.LP +The +.ZN XGetMotionEvents +function returns all events in the motion history buffer that fall between the +specified start and stop times, inclusive, and that have coordinates +that lie within the specified window (including its borders) at its present +placement. +If the server does not support motion history, +if the start time is later than the stop time, +or if the start time is in the future, +no events are returned; +.ZN XGetMotionEvents +returns NULL. +If the stop time is in the future, it is equivalent to specifying +.ZN CurrentTime . +.ZN XGetMotionEvents +can generate a +.ZN BadWindow +error. +.SH STRUCTURES +The +.ZN XTimeCoord +structure contains: +.LP +.Ds 0 +.TA .5i +.ta .5i +typedef struct { + Time time; + short x, y; +} XTimeCoord; +.De +.LP +The time member is set to the time, in milliseconds. +The x and y members are set to the coordinates of the pointer and +are reported relative to the origin +of the specified window. +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.TP 1i +.ZN 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's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of +alternatives can generate this error. +.TP 1i +.ZN BadWindow +A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +XAnyEvent(3X11), +XIfEvent(3X11), +XNextEvent(3X11), +XPutBackEvent(3X11) +.br +\fI\*(xL\fP |
