Re: minimize/Maximize a window

[praveen <praveenin_ece@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thankyou for the reply ..
I am looking for how a Window Manager would Maximize or manimize a Window....

 

i am able to maximixe a window with this function

 

void maxmizeWindow(Window winId)

{

    XEvent xev;

    Display *disp = XOpenDisplay(0);

    memset(&xev, 0, sizeof(xev));

    xev.xclient.type = ClientMessage;

    xev.xclient.serial = 0;

    xev.xclient.send_event = True;

    xev.xclient.window = winId;

    xev.xclient.format = 32;

    xev.xclient.message_type =  XInternAtom(disp, "_NET_WM_STATE", False);

    xev.xclient.data.l[0] = (unsigned long)1;

    xev.xclient.data.l[2] = XInternAtom(disp, "_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ", False);

    xev.xclient.data.l[1] = XInternAtom(disp, "_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT", False);

    XSendEvent(disp, DefaultRootWindow(disp), False, 
 SubstructureRedirectMask | SubstructureNotifyMask, &xev);

    /*NET_WM Works like a Charm :D*/

    XRaiseWindow(disp, winId);

    XCloseDisplay(disp);

}

But i am not able to minimixe a window with this 

void mixmizeWindow(Window winId)

{

    XEvent xev;

    Display *disp = XOpenDisplay(0);

    memset(&xev, 0, sizeof(xev));

    xev.xclient.type = ClientMessage;

    xev.xclient.serial = 0;

    xev.xclient.send_event = True;

    xev.xclient.window = winId;

    xev.xclient.format = 32;

    xev.xclient.message_type = XInternAtom(disp, "_NET_WM_STATE", False);;

    xev.xclient.data.l[0] = (unsigned long)1;

    xev.xclient.data.l[1] =  XInternAtom(disp, "_NET_WM_ACTION_MINIMIZE ", False);

    XSendEvent(disp, DefaultRootWindow(disp), False,  SubstructureRedirectMask | SubstructureNotifyMask, &xev);

    /**MINIMIZE Does not Minimuze But the Window get de-Highlited*****/

    /*But does not get Highlited.......*/

    XLowerWindow(disp, winId);

    XCloseDisplay(disp);

}

I don't know, but would assume it depends on the specific window manager in use.
