Method

GdkScreenget_window_stack

since: 2.10

Declaration [src]

GList*
gdk_screen_get_window_stack (
  GdkScreen* screen
)

Description [src]

Returns a GList of GdkWindows representing the current window stack.

On X11, this is done by inspecting the _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING property on the root window, as described in the Extended Window Manager Hints. If the window manager does not support the _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING hint, this function returns NULL.

On other platforms, this function may return NULL, depending on whether it is implementable on that platform.

The returned list is newly allocated and owns references to the windows it contains, so it should be freed using g_list_free() and its windows unrefed using g_object_unref() when no longer needed.

Available since: 2.10

Return value

Type: A list of GdkWindow*

A list of GdkWindows for the current window stack, or NULL.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
The return value can be NULL.
