ARGUMENTS

17       int rootX (in)                X-coordinate   (in  root  window  coordi‐
18                                     nates).
19
20       int rootY (in)                Y-coordinate  (in  root  window   coordi‐
21                                     nates).

DESCRIPTION

28       Tk_CoordsToWindow locates the window that contains a given point.   The
29       point  is specified in root coordinates with rootX and rootY (if a vir‐
30       tual-root window manager is in use then rootX  and  rootY  are  in  the
31       coordinate  system  of the virtual root window).  The return value from
32       the procedure is a token for the window that contains the given  point.
33       If  the  point is not in any window, or if the containing window is not
34       in the same application as tkwin, then NULL is returned.
35
36       The containing window is decided using the same  rules  that  determine
37       which  window  contains the mouse cursor:  if a parent and a child both
38       contain the point then the child gets preference, and if  two  siblings
39       both contain the point then the highest one in the stacking order (i.e.
40       the one that's visible on the screen) gets preference.
