GdkWindow*
gdk_x11_window_foreign_new_for_display (
  GdkDisplay* display,
  Window window
)

Description [src]

Wraps a native window in a GdkWindow. The function will try to look up the window using gdk_x11_window_lookup_for_display() first. If it does not find it there, it will create a new window.

This may fail if the window has been destroyed. If the window was already known to GDK, a new reference to the existing GdkWindow is returned.

Available since: 2.24

Parameters

display

Type: GdkX11Display

The GdkDisplay where the window handle comes from.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

window

Type: Window

An Xlib Window.

Return value

Type: GdkWindow

A GdkWindow wrapper for the native window, or NULL if the window has been destroyed. The wrapper will be newly created, if one doesn’t exist already.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
