Preventing Application Movement Among Workspaces

The function DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions() prevents an application from:

• Switching from one workspace to another

• Occupying all workspaces

• Being removed from the current workspace

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

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.
