extern |
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:
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.
parent | the parent of the window, must not be NULL |
offset_x | the x position of the popup window relative to the origin of the parent |
offset_y | the y position of the popup window relative to the origin of the parent window |
w | the width of the window |
h | the height of the window |
flags | SDL_WINDOW_TOOLTIP or SDL_WINDOW_POPUP MENU, and zero or more additional SDL_WindowFlags OR'd together. |
|
extern |
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 resolutionSDL_WINDOW_OPENGL
: window usable with an OpenGL contextSDL_WINDOW_VULKAN
: window usable with a Vulkan instanceSDL_WINDOW_METAL
: window usable with a Metal instanceSDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN
: window is not visibleSDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS
: no window decorationSDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE
: window can be resizedSDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED
: window is minimizedSDL_WINDOW_MAXIMIZED
: window is maximizedSDL_WINDOW_MOUSE_GRABBED
: window has grabbed mouse focusThe 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 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.

SDL_PROPERTY_WINDOW_CREATE_X11_WINDOW_NUMBER
: the X11 Window associated with the window, if you want to wrap an existing window.The window is implicitly shown if the "hidden" property is not set.
Windows with the "tooltip" and "menu" properties are popup windows and have the behaviors and guidelines outlined in SDL_CreatePopupWindow()
.
props | the properties to use |
|
extern |
Destroy a window.
If window
is NULL, this function will return immediately after setting the SDL error message to "Invalid window". See SDL_GetError().
window | the window to destroy |
|
extern |
Destroy the surface associated with the window.
window | the window to update |
|
extern |
Prevent the screen from being blanked by a screen saver.
If you disable the screensaver, it is automatically re-enabled when SDL quits.
The screensaver is disabled by default since SDL 2.0.2. Before SDL 2.0.2 the screensaver was enabled by default.
|
extern |
Get the currently active EGL config.
|
extern |
Get the currently active EGL display.
|
extern |
Get an EGL library function by name.
If an EGL library is loaded, this function allows applications to get entry points for EGL functions. This is useful to provide to an EGL API and extension loader.
proc | the name of an EGL function |
|
extern |
Get the EGL surface associated with the window.
window | the window to query |
|
extern |
Sets the callbacks for defining custom EGLAttrib arrays for EGL initialization.
Each callback should return a pointer to an EGL attribute array terminated with EGL_NONE. Callbacks may return NULL pointers to signal an error, which will cause the SDL_CreateWindow process to fail gracefully.
The arrays returned by each callback will be appended to the existing attribute arrays defined by SDL.
NOTE: These callback pointers will be reset after SDL_GL_ResetAttributes.
platformAttribCallback | Callback for attributes to pass to eglGetPlatformDisplay. |
surfaceAttribCallback | Callback for attributes to pass to eglCreateSurface. |
contextAttribCallback | Callback for attributes to pass to eglCreateContext. |
|
extern |
Allow the screen to be blanked by a screen saver.
|
extern |
Request a window to demand attention from the user.
window | the window to be flashed |
operation | the flash operation |
|
extern |
Get the closest match to the requested display mode.
The available display modes are scanned and closest
is filled in with the closest mode matching the requested mode and returned. The mode format and refresh rate default to the desktop mode if they are set to 0. The modes are scanned with size being first priority, format being second priority, and finally checking the refresh rate. If all the available modes are too small, then NULL is returned.
displayID | the instance ID of the display to query |
w | the width in pixels of the desired display mode |
h | the height in pixels of the desired display mode |
refresh_rate | the refresh rate of the desired display mode, or 0.0f for the desktop refresh rate |
include_high_density_modes | Boolean to include high density modes in the search |
|
extern |
Get information about the current display mode.
There's a difference between this function and SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode() when SDL runs fullscreen and has changed the resolution. In that case this function will return the current display mode, and not the previous native display mode.
displayID | the instance ID of the display to query |
|

extern |
Get information about the desktop's display mode.
There's a difference between this function and SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode() when SDL runs fullscreen and has changed the resolution. In that case this function will return the previous native display mode, and not the current display mode.
displayID | the instance ID of the display to query |

Get the desktop area represented by a display.
The primary display is always located at (0,0).
displayID | the instance ID of the display to query |
rect | the SDL_Rect structure filled in with the display bounds |
|
extern |
Get the content scale of a display.
The content scale is the expected scale for content based on the DPI settings of the display. For example, a 4K display might have a 2.0 (200%) display scale, which means that the user expects UI elements to be twice as big on this display, to aid in readability.
displayID | the instance ID of the display to query |

|
extern |
Get the usable desktop area represented by a display, in screen coordinates.
This is the same area as SDL_GetDisplayBounds() reports, but with portions reserved by the system removed. For example, on Apple's macOS, this subtracts the area occupied by the menu bar and dock.
Setting a window to be fullscreen generally bypasses these unusable areas, so these are good guidelines for the maximum space available to a non-fullscreen window.
displayID | the instance ID of the display to query |
rect | the SDL_Rect structure filled in with the display bounds |
|
extern |
Get a list of fullscreen display modes available on a display.
The display modes are sorted in this priority:

Get the size of a window's borders (decorations) around the client area.
Note: If this function fails (returns -1), the size values will be initialized to 0, 0, 0, 0 (if a non-NULL pointer is provided), as if the window in question was borderless.
Note: This function may fail on systems where the window has not yet been decorated by the display server (for example, immediately after calling SDL_CreateWindow). It is recommended that you wait at least until the window has been presented and composited, so that the window system has a chance to decorate the window and provide the border dimensions to SDL.
This function also returns -1 if getting the information is not supported.
window | the window to query the size values of the border (decorations) from |
top | pointer to variable for storing the size of the top border; NULL is permitted |
left | pointer to variable for storing the size of the left border; NULL is permitted |
bottom | pointer to variable for storing the size of the bottom border; NULL is permitted |
right | pointer to variable for storing the size of the right border; NULL is permitted |
|
extern |
Get the content display scale relative to a window's pixel size.
This is a combination of the window pixel density and the display content scale, and is the expected scale for displaying content in this window. For example, if a 3840x2160 window had a display scale of 2.0, the user expects the content to take twice as many pixels and be the same physical size as if it were being displayed in a 1920x1080 window with a display scale of 1.0.
Conceptually this value corresponds to the scale display setting, and is updated when that setting is changed, or the window moves to a display with a different scale setting.

Get the opacity of a window.
If transparency isn't supported on this platform, opacity will be reported as 1.0f without error.

Get the pixel density of a window.
This is a ratio of pixel size to window size. For example, if the window is 1920x1080 and it has a high density back buffer of 3840x2160 pixels, it would have a pixel density of 2.0.

Get the size of a window's client area.
NULL can safely be passed as the w

Get the SDL surface associated with the window.
A new surface will be created with the optimal format for the window, if necessary. This surface will be freed when the window is destroyed. Do not free this surface.
This surface will be invalidated if the window is resized. After resizing a window this function must be called again to return a valid surface.
You may not combine this with 3D or the rendering API on this 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.
window | the window to associate with the context |
window
or NULL on error; call SDL_GetError() for more details.
|
extern |
Delete an OpenGL context.
context | the OpenGL context to be deleted |
|
extern |
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.
extension | the name of the extension to check |
|
extern |
Get the actual value for an attribute from the current context.
attr | an SDL_GLattr enum value specifying the OpenGL attribute to get |
value | a pointer filled in with the current value of attr |

extern |
Get the currently active OpenGL window.
|
extern |
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:
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.proc | the name of an OpenGL function |
|
extern |
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.
interval | Output 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 |
|
extern |
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().
path | the platform dependent OpenGL library name, or NULL to open the default OpenGL library |
|
extern |
Set up an OpenGL context for rendering into an OpenGL window.
The context must have been created with a compatible window.
window | the window to associate with the context |
context | the OpenGL context to associate with the window |

extern |
Reset all previously set OpenGL context attributes to their default values.
|
extern |
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.
attr | an SDL_GLattr enum value specifying the OpenGL attribute to set |
value | the desired value for the attribute |
|
extern |
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
interval | 0 for immediate updates, 1 for updates synchronized with the vertical retrace, -1 for adaptive vsync |

extern |
Update a window with OpenGL rendering.
This is used with double-buffered OpenGL contexts, which are the default.
On macOS, make sure you bind 0 to the draw framebuffer before swapping the window, otherwise nothing will happen. If you aren't using glBindFramebuffer(), this is the default and you won't have to do anything extra.

Request that the window be made as large as possible.
Non-resizable windows can't be maximized. The window must have the SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE flag set, or this will have no effect.
On some windowing systems this request is asynchronous and the new window state may not have have been applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.
When the window state changes, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_MAXIMIZED event will be emitted. Note that, as this is just a request, the windowing system can deny the state change.
When maximizing a window, whether the constraints set via SDL_SetWindowMaximumSize() are honored depends on the policy of the window manager. Win32 and macOS enforce the constraints when maximizing, while X11 and Wayland window managers may vary.
window | the window to maximize |
|
extern |
Request that the window be minimized to an iconic representation.
On some windowing systems this request is asynchronous and the new window state may not have have been applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.
When the window state changes, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_MINIMIZED event will be emitted. Note that, as this is just a request, the windowing system can deny the state change.

Request that the size and position of a minimized or maximized window be restored.
On some windowing systems this request is asynchronous and the new window state may not have have been applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.
When the window state changes, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_RESTORED event will be emitted. Note that, as this is just a request, the windowing system can deny the state change.

Check whether the screensaver is currently enabled.
The screensaver is disabled by default since SDL 2.0.2. Before SDL 2.0.2 the screensaver was enabled by default.

Set the window to always be above the others.
This will add or remove the window's SDL_WINDOW_ALWAYS_ON_TOP

on_top | SDL_TRUE to set the window always on top, SDL_FALSE to disable |

Set the border state of a window.
This will add or remove the window's SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS
flag and add or remove the border from the actual window. This is a no-op if the window's border already matches the requested state.
You can't change the border state of a fullscreen window.
window | the window of which to change the border state |
bordered | SDL_FALSE to remove border, SDL_TRUE to add border |

Set whether the window may have input focus.
window | the window to set focusable state |
focusable | SDL_TRUE to allow input focus, SDL_FALSE to not allow input focus |

extern |
Request that the window's fullscreen state be changed.
By default a window in fullscreen state uses fullscreen desktop mode, but a specific display mode can be set using SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode().
On some windowing systems this request is asynchronous and the new fullscreen state may not have have been applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.
When the window state changes, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_ENTER_FULLSCREEN or SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_LEAVE_FULLSCREEN event will be emitted. Note that, as this is just a request, it can be denied by the windowing system.
window | the window to change |
fullscreen | SDL_TRUE for fullscreen mode, SDL_FALSE for windowed mode |
|
extern |
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().
If the window is currently in the fullscreen state, this request is asynchronous on some windowing systems and the new mode dimensions may not be applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.
When the new mode takes effect, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_RESIZED and/or an SDL_EVENT_WINDOOW_PIXEL_SIZE_CHANGED event will be emitted with the new mode dimensions.
window | the window to affect |
mode | a pointer to the display mode to use, which can be NULL for desktop mode, or one of the fullscreen modes returned by SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes(). |
|
extern |
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.
window | the window for which the input grab mode should be set |
grabbed | SDL_TRUE to grab input or SDL_FALSE to release input |
|
extern |
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.
window | the window to set hit-testing on |
callback | the function to call when doing a hit-test |
callback_data | an app-defined void pointer passed to callback |

Set the icon for a window.
window | the window to change |
icon | an SDL_Surface structure containing the icon for the 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.
window | the window that should get the input focus |
|
extern |
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.
window | The window for which the keyboard grab mode should be set. |
grabbed | This is SDL_TRUE to grab keyboard, and SDL_FALSE to release. |

Set the opacity for a window.
The parameter opacity
will be clamped internally between 0.0f (transparent) and 1.0f (opaque).
This function also returns -1 if setting the opacity isn't supported.
window | the window which will be made transparent or opaque |
opacity | the opacity value (0.0f - transparent, 1.0f - opaque) |
|
extern |
Request that the window's position be set.
If, at the time of this request, the window is in a fixed-size state such as maximized, this request may be deferred until the window returns to a resizable state.
This can be used to reposition fullscreen-desktop windows onto a different display, however, exclusive fullscreen windows are locked to a specific display and can only be repositioned programmatically via SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode().
On some windowing systems this request is asynchronous and the new coordinates may not have have been applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.
When the window position changes, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_MOVED event will be emitted with the window's new coordinates. Note that the new coordinates may not match the exact coordinates requested, as some windowing systems can restrict the position of the window in certain scenarios (e.g. constraining the position so the window is always within desktop bounds). Additionally, as this is just a request, it can be denied by the windowing system.

Set the user-resizable state of a window.
This will add or remove the window's SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE
flag and allow/disallow user resizing of the window. This is a no-op if the window's resizable state already matches the requested state.
You can't change the resizable state of a fullscreen window.
window | the window of which to change the resizable state |

Request that the size of a window's client area be set.
NULL can safely be passed as the w
or h
parameter if the width or height value is not desired.
If, at the time of this request, the window in a fixed-size state, such as maximized or fullscreen, the request will be deferred until the window exits this state and becomes resizable again.
To change the fullscreen mode of a window, use SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode()
On some windowing systems, this request is asynchronous and the new window size may not have have been applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.
When the window size changes, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_RESIZED event will be emitted with the new window dimensions. Note that the new dimensions may not match the exact size requested, as some windowing systems can restrict the window size in certain scenarios (e.g. constraining the size of the content area to remain within the usable desktop bounds). Additionally, as this is just a request, it can be denied by the windowing system.

Display the system-level window menu.
This default window menu is provided by the system and on some platforms provides functionality for setting or changing privileged state on the window, such as moving it between workspaces or displays, or toggling the always-on-top property.
On platforms or desktops where this is unsupported, this function does nothing.
window | the window for which the menu will be displayed |

Block until any pending window state is finalized.
On asynchronous windowing systems, this acts as a synchronization barrier for pending window state. It will attempt to wait until any pending window state has been applied and is guaranteed to return within finite time. Note that for how long it can potentially block depends on the underlying window system, as window state changes may involve somewhat lengthy animations that must complete before the window is in its final requested state.
On windowing systems where changes are immediate, this does nothing.
window | the window for which to wait for the pending state to be applied |
|
extern |
Copy the window surface to the screen.
This is the function you use to reflect any changes to the surface on the screen.
This function is equivalent to the SDL 1.2 API SDL_Flip().
window | the window to update |
|
extern |
Copy areas of the window surface to the screen.
This is the function you use to reflect changes to portions of the surface on the screen.
This function is equivalent to the SDL 1.2 API SDL_UpdateRects().
window | the window to update |
rects | an array of SDL_Rect structures representing areas of the surface to copy, in pixels |
numrects | the number of rectangles |
