Hello folks,
I'm currently writing a security extension and having trouble
understanding what's going on w/ receive hook and xeyes:
when moving the mouse, xeyes receives an event on the root window:
GenericEvent with evtype DestroyNotify. (when blocking this one, the
eyes don't move anymore).
Why does it get DestroyNotify, instead of MotionNotify ?
What am I doing wrong ?
You're looking up a Generic Event using the list of core (non-generic)
event types.
First you need to look up the extension (in the extension field). Then
you can look up the extension-specific event in evtype.
Assuming the extension is XInput, in this case you have an XI_RawMotion
(17) instead of a DestroyNotify (17).
