Preventing Application Movement Among Workspaces

The function DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions prevents an application from:

DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions does this by making that portion of the desktop Workspace Manager (dtwm) window menu inactive. The application should call DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions before its top-level window is mapped because dtwm only checks workspace information at the time it manages the application's top-level window. If you need to call DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions after the application's top-level window is managed, then you must first call the Xlib function XWithdrawWindow, call DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions, and then call XMapWindow to remap the top-level window.

To Prevent Movement to Another Workspace

1. Use DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions.

   DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions(XtDisplay(toplevel), XtWindow(toplevel));

   where:

   • XtDisplay(toplevel) is the X display.

   • XtWindow(toplevel) is the window for which workspace movement is to be prevented.
