.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The XSelectExtensionEvent request causes the X server to report
the events associated with the specified list of event classes\&.
Initially, X will not report any of these events\&. Events are
reported relative to a window\&. If a window is not interested in
a device event, it usually propagates to the closest ancestor
that is interested, unless the do_not_propagate mask prohibits
it\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Multiple clients can select for the same events on the same
window with the following restrictions:
  * Multiple clients can select events on the same window
    because their event masks are disjoint\&. When the X server
    generates an event, it reports it to all interested
    clients\&.
  * Only one client at a time can select a DeviceButtonPress
    event with automatic passive grabbing enabled, which is
    associated with the event class DeviceButtonPressGrab\&. To
    receive DeviceButtonPress events without automatic passive
    grabbing, use event class DeviceButtonPress but do not
    specify event class DeviceButtonPressGrab\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The server reports the event to all interested clients\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
Information contained in the XDevice structure returned by
XOpenDevice is used by macros to obtain the event classes that
clients use in making XSelectExtensionEvent requests\&. Currently
defined macros include DeviceKeyPress, DeviceKeyRelease,
DeviceButtonPress, DeviceButtonRelese, DeviceMotionNotify,
DeviceFocusIn, DeviceFocusOut, ProximityIn, ProximityOut,
DeviceStateNotify, DeviceMappingNotify, ChangeDeviceNotify,
DevicePointerMotionHint, DeviceButton1Motion,
DeviceButton2Motion, DeviceButton3Motion, DeviceButton4Motion,
DeviceButton5Motion, DeviceButtonMotion, DeviceOwnerGrabButton,
DeviceButtonPressGrab, and NoExtensionEvent\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
To obtain the proper event class for a particular device, one
of the above macros is invoked using the XDevice structure for
that device\&. For example,
             DeviceKeyPress (*device, type, eventclass);
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE

.sp
.if n \{\

returns the DeviceKeyPress event type and the eventclass for
selecting DeviceKeyPress events from this device\&.

.nf
XSelectExtensionEvent can generate a BadWindow or BadClass
error\&. The XGetSelectedExtensionEvents request reports the
extension events selected by this client and all clients for
the specified window\&. This request returns pointers to two
XEventClass arrays\&. One lists the input extension events
selected by this client from the specified window\&. The other
lists the event classes selected by all clients from the
specified window\&. You should use XFree to free these two
arrays\&.
