NAME¶

SDL_HINT_FORCE_RAISEWINDOW - A variable controlling whether raising the window should be done more forcefully.

HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_HINT_FORCE_RAISEWINDOW SDL_FORCE_RAISEWINDOW"

DESCRIPTION¶

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Honor the OS policy for raising windows. (default)

• "1": Force the window to be raised, overriding any OS policy.

At present, this is only an issue under MS Windows, which makes it nearly impossible to programmatically move a window to the foreground, for "security" reasons. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/34414846 for a discussion.

This hint can be set anytime.

AVAILABILITY¶

This hint is available since SDL 3.1.3.
