Function Documentation

◆ SDL_CreatePopupWindow()

SDL_Window * SDL_CreatePopupWindow ( SDL_Window parent,
int  offset_x,
int  offset_y,
int  w,
int  h,
Uint32  flags 
)

Create a child popup window of the specified parent window.

'flags' must contain exactly one of the following: - 'SDL_WINDOW_TOOLTIP': The popup window is a tooltip and will not pass any input events. - 'SDL_WINDOW_POPUP_MENU': The popup window is a popup menu. The topmost popup menu will implicitly gain the keyboard focus.

The following flags are not relevant to popup window creation and will be ignored: - 'SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED' - 'SDL_WINDOW_MAXIMIZED' - 'SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN' - 'SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS' - 'SDL_WINDOW_SKIP_TASKBAR'

The parent parameter must be non-null and a valid window. The parent of a popup window can be either a regular, toplevel window, or another popup window.

Popup windows cannot be minimized, maximized, made fullscreen, raised, flash, be made a modal window, be the parent of a modal window, or grab the mouse and/or keyboard. Attempts to do so will fail.

Popup windows implicitly do not have a border/decorations and do not appear on the taskbar/dock or in lists of windows such as alt-tab menus.

If a parent window is hidden, any child popup windows will be recursively hidden as well. Child popup windows not explicitly hidden will be restored when the parent is shown.

If the parent window is destroyed, any child popup windows will be recursively destroyed as well.

Parameters
parentthe parent of the window, must not be NULL
offset_xthe x position of the popup window relative to the origin of the parent
offset_ythe y position of the popup window relative to the origin of the parent window
wthe width of the window
hthe height of the window
flagsSDL_WINDOW_TOOLTIP or SDL_WINDOW_POPUP MENU, and zero or more additional SDL_WindowFlags OR'd together.
Returns
the window that was created or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
Since
This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.

◆ SDL_CreateWindow()

SDL_Window * SDL_CreateWindow ( const char *  title,
int  w,
int  h,
Uint32  flags 
)

Create a window with the specified dimensions and flags.

flags may be any of the following OR'd together:

  • SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN: fullscreen window at desktop resolution
  • SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL: window usable with an OpenGL context
  • SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN: window usable with a Vulkan instance
  • SDL_WINDOW_METAL: window usable with a Metal instance
  • SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN: window is not visible
  • SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS: no window decoration
  • SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE: window can be resized
  • SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED: window is minimized
  • SDL_WINDOW_MAXIMIZED: window is maximized
  • SDL_WINDOW_MOUSE_GRABBED: window has grabbed mouse focus

The SDL_Window is implicitly shown if SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN is not set.

On Apple's macOS, you must set the NSHighResolutionCapable Info.plist property to YES, otherwise you will not receive a High-DPI OpenGL canvas.

The window pixel size may differ from its window coordinate size if the window is on a high pixel density display. Use SDL_GetWindowSize() to query the client area's size in window coordinates, and SDL_GetWindowSizeInPixels() or SDL_GetRenderOutputSize() to query the drawable size in pixels. Note that the drawable size can vary after the window is created and should be queried again if you get an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_PIXEL_SIZE_CHANGED event.

If the window is set fullscreen, the width and height parameters w and h will not be used. However, invalid size parameters (e.g. too large) may still fail. Window size is actually limited to 16384 x 16384 for all platforms at window creation.

If the window is created with any of the SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL or SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN flags, then the corresponding LoadLibrary function (SDL_GL_LoadLibrary or SDL_Vulkan_LoadLibrary) is called and the corresponding UnloadLibrary function is called by SDL_DestroyWindow().

If SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN is specified and there isn't a working Vulkan driver, SDL_CreateWindow() will fail because SDL_Vulkan_LoadLibrary() will fail.

If SDL_WINDOW_METAL is specified on an OS that does not support Metal, SDL_CreateWindow() will fail.

On non-Apple devices, SDL requires you to either not link to the Vulkan loader or link to a dynamic library version. This limitation may be removed in a future version of SDL.

Parameters
titlethe title of the window, in UTF-8 encoding
wthe width of the window
hthe height of the window
flags0, or one or more SDL_WindowFlags OR'd together
Returns
the window that was created or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_CreateWindowFrom()

SDL_Window * SDL_CreateWindowFrom ( const void *  data)

Create an SDL window from an existing native window.

In some cases (e.g. OpenGL) and on some platforms (e.g. Microsoft Windows) the hint SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WINDOW_SHARE_PIXEL_FORMAT needs to be configured before using SDL_CreateWindowFrom().

Parameters
dataa pointer to driver-dependent window creation data, typically your native window cast to a void*
Returns
the window that was created or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_GL_CreateContext()

SDL_GLContext SDL_GL_CreateContext ( SDL_Window window)

Create an OpenGL context for an OpenGL window, and make it current.

Windows users new to OpenGL should note that, for historical reasons, GL functions added after OpenGL version 1.1 are not available by default. Those functions must be loaded at run-time, either with an OpenGL extension-handling library or with SDL_GL_GetProcAddress() and its related functions.

SDL_GLContext is an alias for void *. It's opaque to the application.

Parameters
windowthe window to associate with the context
Returns
the OpenGL context associated with window or NULL on error; call SDL_GetError() for more details.

◆ SDL_GL_ExtensionSupported()

SDL_bool SDL_GL_ExtensionSupported ( const char *  extension)

Check if an OpenGL extension is supported for the current context.

This function operates on the current GL context; you must have created a context and it must be current before calling this function. Do not assume that all contexts you create will have the same set of extensions available, or that recreating an existing context will offer the same extensions again.

While it's probably not a massive overhead, this function is not an O(1) operation. Check the extensions you care about after creating the GL context and save that information somewhere instead of calling the function every time you need to know.

Since
This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.

◆ SDL_GL_GetProcAddress()

SDL_FunctionPointer SDL_GL_GetProcAddress ( const char *  proc)

Get an OpenGL function by name.

If the GL library is loaded at runtime with SDL_GL_LoadLibrary(), then all GL functions must be retrieved this way. Usually this is used to retrieve function pointers to OpenGL extensions.

There are some quirks to looking up OpenGL functions that require some extra care from the application. If you code carefully, you can handle these quirks without any platform-specific code, though:

  • On Windows, function pointers are specific to the current GL context; this means you need to have created a GL context and made it current before calling SDL_GL_GetProcAddress(). If you recreate your context or create a second context, you should assume that any existing function pointers aren't valid to use with it. This is (currently) a Windows-specific limitation, and in practice lots of drivers don't suffer this limitation, but it is still the way the wgl API is documented to work and you should expect crashes if you don't respect it. Store a copy of the function pointers that comes and goes with context lifespan.
  • On X11, function pointers returned by this function are valid for any context, and can even be looked up before a context is created at all. This means that, for at least some common OpenGL implementations, if you look up a function that doesn't exist, you'll get a non-NULL result that is NOT safe to call. You must always make sure the function is actually available for a given GL context before calling it, by checking for the existence of the appropriate extension with SDL_GL_ExtensionSupported(), or verifying that the version of OpenGL you're using offers the function as core functionality.
  • Some OpenGL drivers, on all platforms, will return NULL if a function isn't supported, but you can't count on this behavior. Check for extensions you use, and if you get a NULL anyway, act as if that extension wasn't available. This is probably a bug in the driver, but you can code defensively for this scenario anyhow.
  • Just because you're on Linux/Unix, don't assume you'll be using X11. Next-gen display servers are waiting to replace it, and may or may not make the same promises about function pointers.
  • OpenGL function pointers must be declared APIENTRY as in the example code. This will ensure the proper calling convention is followed on platforms where this matters (Win32) thereby avoiding stack corruption.
Parameters
procthe name of an OpenGL function
Returns
a pointer to the named OpenGL function. The returned pointer should be cast to the appropriate function signature.

◆ SDL_GL_GetSwapInterval()

int SDL_GL_GetSwapInterval ( int *  interval)

Get the swap interval for the current OpenGL context.

If the system can't determine the swap interval, or there isn't a valid current context, this function will set *interval to 0 as a safe default.

Parameters
intervalOutput interval value. 0 if there is no vertical retrace synchronization, 1 if the buffer swap is synchronized with the vertical retrace, and -1 if late swaps happen immediately instead of waiting for the next retrace
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
Since
This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
See also
SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval

◆ SDL_GL_LoadLibrary()

int SDL_GL_LoadLibrary ( const char *  path)

Dynamically load an OpenGL library.

This should be done after initializing the video driver, but before creating any OpenGL windows. If no OpenGL library is loaded, the default library will be loaded upon creation of the first OpenGL window.

If you do this, you need to retrieve all of the GL functions used in your program from the dynamic library using SDL_GL_GetProcAddress().

Parameters
paththe platform dependent OpenGL library name, or NULL to open the default OpenGL library
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

SDL_GL_SetAttribute

◆ SDL_GL_SetAttribute()

int SDL_GL_SetAttribute ( SDL_GLattr  attr,
int  value 
)

Set an OpenGL window attribute before window creation.

This function sets the OpenGL attribute attr to value. The requested attributes should be set before creating an OpenGL window. You should use SDL_GL_GetAttribute() to check the values after creating the OpenGL context, since the values obtained can differ from the requested ones.

Parameters
attran SDL_GLattr enum value specifying the OpenGL attribute to set
valuethe desired value for the attribute
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
See also
SDL_GL_GetAttribute
SDL_GL_ResetAttributes

◆ SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval()

int SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval ( int  interval)

Set the swap interval for the current OpenGL context.

Some systems allow specifying -1 for the interval, to enable adaptive vsync. Adaptive vsync works the same as vsync, but if you've already missed the vertical retrace for a given frame, it swaps buffers immediately, which might be less jarring for the user during occasional framerate drops. If an application requests adaptive vsync and the system does not support it, this function will fail and return -1. In such a case, you should probably retry the call with 1 for the interval.

Adaptive vsync is implemented for some glX drivers with GLX_EXT_swap_control_tear, and for some Windows drivers with WGL_EXT_swap_control_tear.

Read more on the Khronos wiki: https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Swap_Interval#Adaptive_Vsync

Parameters
interval0 for immediate updates, 1 for updates synchronized with the vertical retrace, -1 for adaptive vsync

Set a window's fullscreen state.

By default a window in fullscreen state uses fullscreen desktop mode, but a specific display mode can be set using SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode().

Parameters
windowthe window to change
fullscreenSDL_TRUE for fullscreen mode, SDL_FALSE for windowed mode
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode()

int SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode ( SDL_Window window,
const SDL_DisplayMode mode 
)

Set the display mode to use when a window is visible and fullscreen.

This only affects the display mode used when the window is fullscreen. To change the window size when the window is not fullscreen, use SDL_SetWindowSize().

Parameters
windowthe window to affect
modea pointer to the display mode to use, which can be NULL for desktop mode, or one of the fullscreen modes returned by SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes().
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_SetWindowGrab()

int SDL_SetWindowGrab ( SDL_Window window,
SDL_bool  grabbed 
)

Set a window's input grab mode.

When input is grabbed, the mouse is confined to the window. This function will also grab the keyboard if SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD is set. To grab the keyboard without also grabbing the mouse, use SDL_SetWindowKeyboardGrab().

If the caller enables a grab while another window is currently grabbed, the other window loses its grab in favor of the caller's window.

Parameters
windowthe window for which the input grab mode should be set
grabbedSDL_TRUE to grab input or SDL_FALSE to release input
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_SetWindowHitTest()

int SDL_SetWindowHitTest ( SDL_Window window,
SDL_HitTest  callback,
void *  callback_data 
)

Provide a callback that decides if a window region has special properties.

Normally windows are dragged and resized by decorations provided by the system window manager (a title bar, borders, etc), but for some apps, it makes sense to drag them from somewhere else inside the window itself; for example, one might have a borderless window that wants to be draggable from any part, or simulate its own title bar, etc.

This function lets the app provide a callback that designates pieces of a given window as special. This callback is run during event processing if we need to tell the OS to treat a region of the window specially; the use of this callback is known as "hit testing."

Mouse input may not be delivered to your application if it is within a special area; the OS will often apply that input to moving the window or resizing the window and not deliver it to the application.

Specifying NULL for a callback disables hit-testing. Hit-testing is disabled by default.

Platforms that don't support this functionality will return -1 unconditionally, even if you're attempting to disable hit-testing.

Your callback may fire at any time, and its firing does not indicate any specific behavior (for example, on Windows, this certainly might fire when the OS is deciding whether to drag your window, but it fires for lots of other reasons, too, some unrelated to anything you probably care about and when the mouse isn't actually at the location it is testing). Since this can fire at any time, you should try to keep your callback efficient, devoid of allocations, etc.

Parameters
windowthe window to set hit-testing on
callbackthe function to call when doing a hit-test
callback_dataan app-defined void pointer passed to callback
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.

◆ SDL_SetWindowIcon()

int SDL_SetWindowIcon ( SDL_Window window,
SDL_Surface icon 
)

Set the icon for a window.

Parameters
windowthe window to change
iconan SDL_Surface structure containing the icon for the window
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
Since
This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.

◆ SDL_SetWindowInputFocus()

int SDL_SetWindowInputFocus ( SDL_Window window)

Explicitly set input focus to the window.

You almost certainly want SDL_RaiseWindow() instead of this function. Use this with caution, as you might give focus to a window that is completely obscured by other windows.

Parameters
windowthe window that should get the input focus
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

◆ SDL_SetWindowKeyboardGrab()

int SDL_SetWindowKeyboardGrab ( SDL_Window window,
SDL_bool  grabbed 
)

Set a window's keyboard grab mode.

Keyboard grab enables capture of system keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab or the Meta/Super key. Note that not all system keyboard shortcuts can be captured by applications (one example is Ctrl+Alt+Del on Windows).

This is primarily intended for specialized applications such as VNC clients or VM frontends. Normal games should not use keyboard grab.

When keyboard grab is enabled, SDL will continue to handle Alt+Tab when the window is full-screen to ensure the user is not trapped in your application. If you have a custom keyboard shortcut to exit fullscreen mode, you may suppress this behavior with SDL_HINT_ALLOW_ALT_TAB_WHILE_GRABBED.

If the caller enables a grab while another window is currently grabbed, the other window loses its grab in favor of the caller's window.

Parameters
windowThe window for which the keyboard grab mode should be set.
grabbedThis is SDL_TRUE to grab keyboard, and SDL_FALSE to release.
Returns
0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
