Chapter 10: Events
.XE
A client application communicates with the X server through the connection you
establish with the 
.PN XOpenDisplay 
.IN "XOpenDisplay"
function.
A client application sends requests to the X server over this connection.
.IN "Requests" "" "@DEF@"
These requests are made by the Xlib functions that are 
called in the client application.
Many Xlib functions cause the X server to generate events,
and the user's typing or moving the pointer can generate events asynchronously.
The X server returns events to the client on the same connection.
.LP

.IN "Event" "types"
An event is data generated asynchronously by the X server as a result of some 
device activity or as side effects of a request sent by an Xlib function.
.IN "Event" 
Device-related events propagate from the source window to ancestor windows
until some client application has selected that event type 
or until the event is explicitly discarded.
The X server generally sends an event to a client application
only if the client has specifically asked to be informed of that event type, 
typically by setting the event-mask attribute of the window.
The mask can also be set when you create a window
or by changing the window's
event-mask.
You can also mask out events that would propagate to ancestor windows
by manipulating the
do-not-propagate mask of the window's attributes.
However,
.PN MappingNotify
events are always sent to all clients.
.IN "Input Control"
.IN "Output Control"
.LP
An event type describes a specific event generated by the X server.
For each event type, 
a corresponding constant name is defined in
.hN X11/X.h ,
which is used when referring to an event type.
.IN "Event" "categories"
The following table lists the event category 
and its associated event type or types.

.NH 2
Event Structures
.XS
\*(SN Event Structures 
.XE
.LP
For each event type,
a corresponding structure is declared in
.hN X11/Xlib.h .
All the event structures have the following common members:
.LP
.IN "XAnyEvent" "" "@DEF@"
.sM
.Ds 0
.TA .5i 3i
.ta .5i 3i
typedef struct {
	int type;
	unsigned long serial;	/* # of last request processed by server */
	Bool send_event;	/* true if this came from a SendEvent request */
	Display *display;	/* Display the event was read from */
	Window window;
} XAnyEvent;
.De
.LP
.eM
The type member is set to the event type constant name that uniquely identifies
it.
For example, when the X server reports a
.PN GraphicsExpose
event to a client application, it sends an
.PN XGraphicsExposeEvent
structure with the type member set to
.PN GraphicsExpose .
The display member is set to a pointer to the display the event was read on.
The send_event member is set to
.PN True
if the event came from a
.PN SendEvent
protocol request.
The serial member is set from the serial number reported in the protocol
but expanded from the 16-bit least-significant bits to a full 32-bit value.
The window member is set to the window that is most useful to toolkit
dispatchers.
.LP
The X server can send events at any time in the input stream. 
Xlib stores any events received while waiting for a reply in an event queue 
for later use.
Xlib also provides functions that allow you to check events 
in the event queue (see section 11.3).
.LP
In addition to the individual structures declared for each event type, the
.PN XEvent
structure is a union of the individual structures declared for each event type.
Depending on the type,
you should access members of each event by using the 
.PN XEvent
union.
.LP

} XEvent;
.De
.LP
.eM
An
.PN XEvent
structure's first entry always is the type member,
which is set to the event type.
The second member always is the serial number of the protocol request
that generated the event.
The third member always is send_event,
which is a
.PN Bool
that indicates if the event was sent by a different client.
The fourth member always is a display,
which is the display that the event was read from.
Except for keymap events,
the fifth member always is a window,
which has been carefully selected to be useful to toolkit dispatchers.
To avoid breaking toolkits,
the order of these first five entries is not to change.
Most events also contain a time member,
which is the time at which an event occurred.
In addition, a pointer to the generic event must be cast before it
is used to access any other information in the structure.
.NH 2
Event Masks
.XS
\*(SN Event Masks
.XE
.LP
.IN "Event mask" "" "@DEF@"
Clients select event reporting of most events relative to a window.
To do this, pass an event mask to an Xlib event-handling
function that takes an event_mask argument.
The bits of the event mask are defined in
.hN X11/X.h .
Each bit in the event mask maps to an event mask name,
which describes the event or events you want the X server to
return to a client application.
.LP
Unless the client has specifically asked for them,
most events are not reported to clients when they are generated. 
Unless the client suppresses them by setting graphics-exposures in the GC to
.PN False ,
.PN GraphicsExpose 
and 
.PN NoExpose 
are reported by default as a result of
.PN XCopyPlane
and
.PN XCopyArea .
.PN SelectionClear ,
.PN SelectionRequest ,
.PN SelectionNotify ,
or
.PN ClientMessage
cannot be masked.
Selection-related events are only sent to clients cooperating
with selections (see section 4.5).
When the keyboard or pointer mapping is changed,
.PN MappingNotify
is always sent to clients.

Event Processing Overview
.XS
\*(SN Event Processing Overview
.XE
.LP
The event reported to a client application during event processing
depends on which event masks you provide as the event-mask attribute 
for a window.
For some event masks, there is a one-to-one correspondence between
the event mask constant and the event type constant.
For example, if you pass the event mask
.PN ButtonPressMask ,
the X server sends back only
.PN ButtonPress
events.
.IN "CurrentTime"
Most events contain a time member,
which is the time at which an event occurred.
.LP
In other cases, one event mask constant can map to several event type constants.
For example, if you pass the event mask
.PN SubstructureNotifyMask ,
the X server can send back
.PN CirculateNotify ,
.PN ConfigureNotify ,
.PN CreateNotify ,
.PN DestroyNotify ,
.PN GravityNotify ,
.PN MapNotify ,
.PN ReparentNotify ,
or
.PN UnmapNotify
events.
.LP
In another case, 
two event masks can map to one event type.
For example, 
if you pass either
.PN PointerMotionMask 
or
.PN ButtonMotionMask ,
the X server sends back
a
.PN MotionNotify
event.
.LP
The following table 
lists the event mask, 
its associated event type or types, 
and the structure name associated with the event type.
Some of these structures actually are typedefs to a generic structure
that is shared between two event types.
Note that N.A. appears in columns for which the information is not applicable.

The following describes the event processing that occurs when a pointer button 
press is processed with the pointer in some window w and 
when no active pointer grab is in progress.
.LP
The X server searches the ancestors of w from the root down,
looking for a passive grab to activate.
If no matching passive grab on the button exists,
the X server automatically starts an active grab for the client receiving
the event and sets the last-pointer-grab time to the current server time.
The effect is essentially equivalent to an
.PN XGrabButton
with these client passed arguments:

For information about the keyboard event-handling utilities,

.LP
.IN "KeyPress" "" "@DEF@"
.IN "KeyRelease" "" "@DEF@"
The X server reports

events to clients wanting information about keys that logically change state.
Note that these events are generated for all keys, 
even those mapped to modifier bits.
.IN "ButtonPress" "" "@DEF@"
.IN "ButtonRelease" "" "@DEF@"
The X server reports
.PN ButtonPress
or
.PN ButtonRelease
events to clients wanting information about buttons that logically change state.
.LP
.IN "MotionNotify" "" "@DEF@"
The X server reports
.PN MotionNotify
events to clients wanting information about when the pointer logically moves.
The X server generates this event whenever the pointer is moved 
and the pointer motion begins and ends in the window.
The granularity of
.PN MotionNotify
events is not guaranteed, 
but a client that selects this event type is guaranteed
to receive at least one event when the pointer moves and then rests.
.LP
The generation of the logical changes lags the physical changes 
if device event processing is frozen.
.LP
To receive
.PN KeyPress ,
.PN KeyRelease ,
.PN ButtonPress ,
and
.PN ButtonRelease 
events, set 
.PN KeyPressMask ,
.PN KeyReleaseMask ,
.PN ButtonPressMask ,
and
.PN ButtonReleaseMask 
bits in the event-mask attribute of the window.
.LP
To receive 
.PN MotionNotify
events, set one or more of the following event 
masks bits in the event-mask attribute of the window.
.IP \(bu 5
.PN Button1MotionMask \ \-
.PN Button5MotionMask
.IP
The client application receives
.PN MotionNotify
events only when one or more of the specified buttons is pressed.
.IP \(bu 5
.PN ButtonMotionMask
.IP
The client application receives
.PN MotionNotify
events only when at least one button is pressed.
.IP \(bu 5
.PN PointerMotionMask
.IP
The client application receives 
.PN MotionNotify
events independent of the state of
the pointer buttons.
.IP \(bu 5
.PN PointerMotionHintMask
.IP
If
.PN PointerMotionHintMask
is selected in combination with one or more of the above masks, 
the X server is free to send only one
.PN MotionNotify
event (with the is_hint member  of the
.PN XPointerMovedEvent
structure set to
.PN NotifyHint )
to the client for the event window, 
until either the key or button state changes,
the pointer leaves the event window, or the client calls
.PN XQueryPointer
or
.PN XGetMotionEvents .
The server still may send
.PN MotionNotify
events without is_hint set to
.PN NotifyHint .
.LP
The source of the event is the viewable window that the pointer is in.
The window used by the X server to report these events depends on 
the window's position in the window hierarchy 
and whether any intervening window prohibits the generation of these events.
Starting with the source window, 
the X server searches up the window hierarchy until it locates the first 
window specified by a client as having an interest in these events.
If one of the intervening windows has its do-not-propagate-mask
set to prohibit generation of the event type,
the events of those types will be suppressed.
Clients can modify the actual window used for reporting by performing
active grabs and, in the case of keyboard events, by using the focus window.

These structures have the following common members:
window, root, subwindow, time, x, y, x_root, y_root, state, and same_screen.
The window member is set to the window on which the
event was generated and is referred to as the event window. 
As long as the conditions previously discussed are met,
this is the window used by the X server to report the event.
The root member is set to the source window's root window.
The x_root and y_root members are set to the pointer's coordinates
relative to the root window's origin at the time of the event.
.LP
The same_screen member is set to indicate whether the event 
window is on the same screen
as the root window and can be either
.PN True 
or
.PN False .
If
.PN True ,
the event and root windows are on the same screen.
If
.PN False ,
the event and root windows are not on the same screen.
.LP
If the source window is an inferior of the event window, 
the subwindow member of the structure is set to the child of the event window
that is the source window or the child of the event window that is
an ancestor of the source window.
Otherwise, the X server sets the subwindow member to
.PN None .
The time member is set to the time when the event was generated 
and is expressed in milliseconds.
.LP
If the event window is on the same screen as the root window, 
the x and y members
are set to the coordinates relative to the event window's origin.
Otherwise, these members are set to zero.
.LP
The state member is set to indicate the logical state of the pointer buttons 
and modifier keys just prior to the event,
which is the bitwise inclusive OR of one or more of the
button or modifier key masks:
.PN Button1Mask ,
.PN Button2Mask ,
.PN Button3Mask ,
.PN Button4Mask ,
.PN Button5Mask ,
.PN ShiftMask ,
.PN LockMask ,
.PN ControlMask ,
.PN Mod1Mask ,
.PN Mod2Mask ,
.PN Mod3Mask ,
.PN Mod4Mask ,
and
.PN Mod5Mask .
.LP
Each of these structures also has a member that indicates the detail.
For the
.PN XKeyPressedEvent
and
.PN XKeyReleasedEvent
structures, this member is called a keycode.
It is set to a number that represents a physical key on the keyboard.
The keycode is an arbitrary representation for any key on the keyboard
(see sections 12.7 and 16.1).
.LP
For the
.PN XButtonPressedEvent
and
.PN XButtonReleasedEvent
structures, this member is called button.
It represents the pointer button that changed state and can be the
.PN Button1 ,
.PN Button2 ,
.PN Button3 ,
.PN Button4 ,
or
.PN Button5 
value.
For the
.PN XPointerMovedEvent

If a pointer motion or a window hierarchy change causes the
pointer to be in a different window than before, the X server reports
.PN EnterNotify
or

events to clients who have selected for these events.
All 
.PN EnterNotify

events caused by a hierarchy change are
generated after any hierarchy event
.Pn ( UnmapNotify ,
.PN MapNotify ,
.PN ConfigureNotify ,

caused by that change;
however, the X protocol does not constrain the ordering of 
.PN EnterNotify

.PN VisibilityNotify ,
and

.LP
This contrasts with
.PN MotionNotify
events, which are also generated when the pointer moves
but only when the pointer motion begins and ends in a single window.
An

Exposure Events

.LP
The X protocol does not guarantee to preserve the contents of window 
regions when
the windows are obscured or reconfigured.
Some implementations may preserve the contents of windows.
Other implementations are free to destroy the contents of windows
when exposed.
X expects client applications to assume the responsibility for
restoring the contents of an exposed window region. 
(An exposed window region describes a formerly obscured window whose 
region becomes visible.) 
Therefore, the X server sends 
.PN Expose 
events describing the window and the region of the window that has been exposed.
A naive client application usually redraws the entire window. 
A more sophisticated client application redraws only the exposed region.

.IN "Events" "SelectionNotify"
.IN "SelectionNotify" "" "@DEF@"
This event is generated by the X server in response to a
.PN ConvertSelection 
protocol request when there is no owner for the selection.
When there is an owner, it should be generated by the owner
of the selection by using
.PN XSendEvent .
The owner of a selection should send this event to a requestor when a selection
has been converted and stored as a property
or when a selection conversion could
not be performed (which is indicated by setting the property member to
.PN None ).
.LP
If
.PN None
is specified as the property in the 
.PN ConvertSelection
protocol request, the owner should choose a property name,
store the result as that property on the requestor window,
and then send a 
.PN SelectionNotify
giving that actual property name.

The requestor member is set to the window associated with
the requestor of the selection.
The selection member is set to the atom that indicates the selection.
For example, PRIMARY is used for the primary selection.
The target member is set to the atom that indicates the converted type.
For example, PIXMAP is used for a pixmap.
The property member is set to the atom that indicates which
property the result was stored on.
If the conversion failed, 
the property member is set to
.PN None .
The time member is set to the time the conversion took place and
can be a timestamp or
.PN CurrentTime .
