XGetInputFocus not working

[VARADHARAJAN RAVINDRANATH]

Hi,

   Following is the code in the windows manager to get the focused
window details:

Some_fn()
{
	Window focusWindow;
	Display *focusDisplay;
	focusDisplay = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
	int retcode = 0;
	int param = 0;
	retcode = XGetInputFocus(focusDisplay,&focusWindow,&param);
	fprintf(stderr,"Retcode = %d\n Focus Window = %u\nparam = %d
\n",retcode,focusWindow,param);
}


A sample X11 application is written to check if the focus is obtained
correctly. This x11 aplication creates a simple window and starts
listening to KeyPress Events. During the startup of this x11
application, I printed the Window ID [6291457]. Now when I click the
mouse in the window which the x11 application has created [to bring the
x11 application to focus], I find that the windows manager prints the
following line 

Retcode = 1
 Focus Window = 64
 Param = 

Can you pls point where am I getting wrong ??

Thanks & Regards,
R.Varadharajan.

Have you set the focus window? 64 sounds like a root window ID, so maybe
the
focus is on the root window?
