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, DeviceMappiingNotify, 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 \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf returns the DeviceKeyPress event type and the eventclass for selecting DeviceKeyPress events from this device\&. .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .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\&. .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf XGetSelectedExtensionEvents can generate a BadWindow error\&. .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .SH "DIAGNOSTICS" .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined window\&. .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf BadClass A value for an XEventClass is invalid\&. .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\}
