XResizeWindow()

Hello,

I have the XID (0x03400003) of a window that I want to resize, that
window hasn't been created by me. I want to resize the window using the
XResizeWindow(Display *display, Window win, uint width, uitn height)
function.
I call this function with XID of the window as Window parameter but
it doesn't work. I don't know if I have to convert the XID value to any
other format or something like that.


Does anyone know how can I do it? or any other way to do it?

Thanks in advance,


Jose.

Sorry, the XResizeWindow() function works well with an XID as
parameter.
The problem is that the window I want to resize cannot be resized.
For example, I can't resize it using the mouse, I only have the
possibility of resize it with the key combination "ctrl"+"+" or
"ctrl"+"-".
Maybe I've to "unlock" the window by switching the value of some of
its attributes, I really don't know.

If someone know what can I do I'll be very pleased,


Jose.

If it's a top-level application window, then resizing requests get redirected
to the window manager first, which is probably ignoring them. Try doing the
same thing without a window manager running.

did you figure out how to re size other windows that are not "locked"
because I'm trying to do just that but when ever i call XResizeWindow()
my program just terminates.
thanks
