[comp.windows.x.motif] WM_STATE property

dmbeal@uswnvg.UUCP (Dave Beal) (05/23/91)

I have read about the WM_STATE property the 
window manager assigns to every client window. 
I have been able to look at it using 'xprop', 
but I have not been able to use XGetWindowProperty
to retrieve the value. 

The problem is WM_STATE does not appear to be a 
perdefined Atom, as specified in the OSF programmer's
guide. The structure for the WM_STATE property does
not appear to be defined, either. 

What I am trying to do is, determine when my window
is iconified. I could trap the events for Property
Notify, but the XGetProperty would simplify my code. 

Thanks, in advance to those who can help.
