Formating problem in XReparentWindow

[PstdEr]

I am using the following program to embed a client window in another window using Qt and X11 code.

I run the server program first and gets the window id of server using xwininfo(http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/window...entWindow.html).
upon getting the window id , i run the client program by passing window id as a command line arguments.


the problem is that the client window is embedding at the bottom , or at sides , or other but never from (0,0) geometry.

and having the background of parent .

how can i make the window to embed from 0,0 and should cover the size of its parent with auto size adjustable.


client code

using namespace std;
#include <iostream>
#include <QtWidgets>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   QApplication app(argc, argv);
   unsigned long int  WinId;
   XSetWindowAttributes    frame_attributes;
   WinId = atoi(argv[1]);
	cout<<"WinId :"<<WinId<<endl;
 
	if(argc != 2){
		cout<<"pass WinId as arguement"<<endl;
		return 0;
	}
  Display *display = XOpenDisplay( 0 ); // 0 parameter for default values
  frame_attributes.background_pixel = XWhitePixel(display, 0);	
  if ( display != NULL )
  {
     // Create the x11 window using XLib
     Window w = XCreateWindow(display, DefaultRootWindow(display), 
     0, 0, 200, 300, 0,CopyFromParent, CopyFromParent, CopyFromParent, CWBackPixel, &frame_attributes);
 
     XMapWindow(display, w);
     XReparentWindow(display, w,WinId, 0, 0);
     XFlush(display);
  }
  else
      std::cout << "Error: Opening display" << std::endl ;
 
      return app.exec();
}

using namespace std;
#include <iostream>
#include <QtWidgets>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   QApplication app(argc, argv);
   unsigned long int  WinId;
   XSetWindowAttributes    frame_attributes;
   WinId = atoi(argv[1]);
	cout<<"WinId :"<<WinId<<endl;

	if(argc != 2){
		cout<<"pass WinId as arguement"<<endl;
		return 0;
	}
  Display *display = XOpenDisplay( 0 ); // 0 parameter for default values
  frame_attributes.background_pixel = XWhitePixel(display, 0);	
  if ( display != NULL )
  {
     // Create the x11 window using XLib
     Window w = XCreateWindow(display, DefaultRootWindow(display), 
     0, 0, 200, 300, 0,CopyFromParent, CopyFromParent, CopyFromParent, CWBackPixel, &frame_attributes);
     
     XMapWindow(display, w);
     XReparentWindow(display, w,WinId, 0, 0);
     XFlush(display);
  }
  else
      std::cout << "Error: Opening display" << std::endl ;

      return app.exec();
}

server code:

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
{
    QWidget *ServerWin = new QWidget;
    setCentralWidget(ServerWin);
    setMinimumSize(800,700);
    setPalette(QPalette(QColor(0,255,0,255)));
    setAutoFillBackground(true);
}
 
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
 
}

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
{
    QWidget *ServerWin = new QWidget;
    setCentralWidget(ServerWin);
    setMinimumSize(800,700);
    setPalette(QPalette(QColor(0,255,0,255)));
    setAutoFillBackground(true);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    
}

What if you pass the parent to XCreateWindow instead of reparenting?

Thats Good,

But i am not able to resize the client, does not the client resize when we maximize the parent?
one more thing is , if i have some layouts on my server window and each layout is having different image then the cilent is having all those layouts as background instead of having its own parents.

I guess that since it is not a widget but just widget content, you'll have to resize it manually.
XResizeWindow in the resizeEvent() handler of the parent maybe.

No idea, sorry.
