XResizeWindow not working?

[sureshc2k1]

Hi,

I am trying to resize a window using the XResizeWindow(),
the window was not created by me. I have got the ID of the
window the XResizeWindow() needs, but still the XResizeWindow() doesn't resize the Window.

Instead of XResizeWindow(), I tried by sending the ConfigureRequest event too, but still there is not effect.
Anybody knows what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks
Suresh

Just a possibility here:

Your XResizeWindow() request won't necessarily be sent to the X server until one of two things happens:

1. you wait for an event; or
2. you do an XFlush().

Are you doing one of these two things?

Hi Bill,

I have used Xsync() & XFlush() after the call to XResizeWindow(). I tried with some other functions like
XMoveResizeWindow() and XConfigureWindow() too.
But no effect on the window. Isn't it possible to
resize a window if it is not created by us?

Thanks and regards

Yes, it is, and I have no idea why it's not working for you.
