.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.nf
The XGrabDevice request actively grabs control of the device
and generates DeviceFocusIn and DeviceFocusOut events\&. Further
device events are reported only to the grabbing
client\&.XGrabDevice overrides any active device grab by this
client\&. event_list is a pointer to a list of event classes\&.
This list indicates which events the client wishes to receive
while the grab is active\&. If owner_events is False, all
generated device events are reported with respect to
grab_window if selected\&. If owner_events is True and if a
generated device event would normally be reported to this
client, it is reported normally; otherwise, the event is
reported with respect to the grab_window, and is only reported
if specified in the event_list\&.
.fi
.if n \{\

.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
If the this_device_mode argument is GrabModeAsync, device event
processing continues as usual\&. If the device is currently
frozen by this client, then processing of device events is
resumed\&. If the this_device_mode argument is GrabModeSync, the
state of the device (as seen by client applications) appears to
freeze, and the X server generates no further device events
until the grabbing client issues a releasing XAllowDeviceEvents
call or until the device grab is released\&. Actual device
changes are not lost while the device is frozen; they are
simply queued in the server for later processing\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
If other_devices_mode is GrabModeAsync, processing of events
from other devices is unaffected by activation of the grab\&. If
other_devices_mode is GrabModeSync, the state of all devices
except the grabbed device (as seen by client applications)
appears to freeze, and the X server generates no further events
from those devices until the grabbing client issues a releasing
XAllowDeviceEvents call or until the device grab is released\&.
Actual events are not lost while the devices are frozen; they
are simply queued in the server for later processing\&.
.fi
.if n \{\

.nf
If the device is actively grabbed by some other client,
XGrabDevice fails and returns AlreadyGrabbed\&. If grab_window is
not viewable, it fails and returns GrabNotViewable\&. If the
device is frozen by an active grab of another client, it fails
and returns GrabFrozen\&. If the specified time is earlier than
the last\-device\-grab time or later than the current X server
time, it fails and returns GrabInvalidTime\&. Otherwise, the
last\-device\-grab time is set to the specified time (
CurrentTime is replaced by the current X server time)\&.

If a grabbed device is closed by a client while an active grab

The XUngrabDevice request releases the device and any queued
events if this client has it actively grabbed from either
XGrabDevice or XGrabDeviceKey\&. If other devices are frozen by
the grab, XUngrabDevice thaws them\&.XUngrabDevice does not
release the device and any queued events if the specified time
is earlier than the last\-device\-grab time or is later than the
current X server time\&. It also generates DeviceFocusIn and
DeviceFocusOut events\&. The X server automatically performs an
UngrabDevice request if the event window for an active device
grab becomes not viewable\&.

BadDevice
An invalid device was specified\&. The specified device
does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
XOpenInputDevice\&. This error may also occur if the
specified device is the X keyboard or X pointer device\&.

BadValue
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
accepted by the request\&. Unless a specific range is
