The XGrabDevice request actively grabs control of the device
|
|
and generates DeviceFocusIn and DeviceFocusOut events. Further
|
|
device events are reported only to the grabbing
|
|
client.XGrabDevice overrides any active device grab by this
|
|
client. event_list is a pointer to a list of event classes.
|
|
This list indicates which events the client wishes to receive
|
|
while the grab is active. If owner_events is False, all
|
|
generated device events are reported with respect to
|
|
grab_window if selected. If owner_events is True and if a
|
|
generated device event would normally be reported to this
|
|
client, it is reported normally; otherwise, the event is
|
|
reported with respect to the grab_window, and is only reported
|
|
if specified in the event_list.

If the this_device_mode argument is GrabModeAsync, device event
|
|
processing continues as usual. If the device is currently
|
|
frozen by this client, then processing of device events is
|
|
resumed. If the this_device_mode argument is GrabModeSync, the
|
|
state of the device (as seen by client applications) appears to
|
|
freeze, and the X server generates no further device events
|
|
until the grabbing client issues a releasing XAllowDeviceEvents
|
|
call or until the device grab is released. Actual device
|
|
changes are not lost while the device is frozen; they are
|
|
simply queued in the server for later processing.

If other_devices_mode is GrabModeAsync, processing of events
|
|
from other devices is unaffected by activation of the grab. If
|
|
other_devices_mode is GrabModeSync, the state of all devices
|
|
except the grabbed device (as seen by client applications)
|
|
appears to freeze, and the X server generates no further events
|
|
from those devices until the grabbing client issues a releasing
|
|
XAllowDeviceEvents call or until the device grab is released.
|
|
Actual events are not lost while the devices are frozen; they
|
|
are simply queued in the server for later processing.

If the device is actively grabbed by some other client,
|
|
XGrabDevice fails and returns AlreadyGrabbed. If grab_window is
|
|
not viewable, it fails and returns GrabNotViewable. If the
|
|
device is frozen by an active grab of another client, it fails
|
|
and returns GrabFrozen. If the specified time is earlier than
|
|
the last-device-grab time or later than the current X server
|
|
time, it fails and returns GrabInvalidTime. Otherwise, the
|
|
last-device-grab time is set to the specified time
|
|
(CurrentTime is replaced by the current X server time).

If a grabbed device is closed by a client while an active grab
|
|
by that client is in effect, the active grab is released. If

the device is frozen only by an active grab of the requesting
|
|
client, it is thawed.

The XUngrabDevice request releases the device and any queued
|
|
events if this client has it actively grabbed from either
|
|
XGrabDevice or XGrabDeviceKey. If other devices are frozen by
|
|
the grab, XUngrabDevice thaws them.XUngrabDevice does not
|
|
release the device and any queued events if the specified time
|
|
is earlier than the last-device-grab time or is later than the
|
|
current X server time. It also generates DeviceFocusIn and
|
|
DeviceFocusOut events. The X server automatically performs an
|
|
UngrabDevice request if the event window for an active device
|
|
grab becomes not viewable.
