24/**
25 * This class provides information about a given X11 window. It provides the information
26 * for the current state when a KWindowInfo instance gets created.
27 * The instance does not get updated when the
28 * window changes. To get update about window changes connect to the
29 * @link KX11Extras::windowChanged windowChanged@endlink signal of KX11Extras
30 * and create a new KWindowInfo instance to reflect the current state.
31 *
32 * KWindowInfo does not encapsulate all information about the window. One needs to
33 * request which information is required by passing the appropriate NET::Property and
34 * NET::Property2 flags to the constructor. Please refer to the documentation of the
35 * methods to see which flags are required. This is done to limit the interaction with
36 * the xserver and avoid excess roundtrips.
37 *
38 * KWindowInfo does nothing when running outside of X11.
39 *
40 * Example usage of this class illustrated by monitoring a QWidget for change of the
41 * demands attention window state:
42 *
43 * @code
44 * QWidget *widget = new QWidget(nullptr);
45 * widget->show(); // ensures native window gets created
46 * connect(KX11Extras::self(), &KX11Extras::KWindowSystem::windowChanged,
47 * [window](WId id, NET::Properties properties, NET::Properties2 properties2) {
48 * if (widget->winId() != winId) {
49 * return; // not our window
50 * }
51 * if (properties & NET::WMState) {
52 * // let's check whether our window is demanding attention
53 * KWindowInfo info(widget->winId(), NET::WMState);
54 * qDebug() << "Has demands attention: " << info.hasState(NET::DemandsAttention);
55 * }
56 * });
57 * @endcode
