SDL_GetWindowWMInfo

Use this function to get driver specific information about a window.

Syntax

SDL_bool SDL_GetWindowWMInfo(SDL_Window*    window,
                             SDL_SysWMinfo* info)

Function Parameters

window

the window about which information is being requested

info

an SDL_SysWMinfo structure filled in with window information; see Remarks for details

Return Value

Returns SDL_TRUE if the function is implemented and the version member of the info struct is valid, or SDL_FALSE if the information could not be retrieved; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Code Examples

#include "SDL.h"
#include "SDL_syswm.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  SDL_Window* window;
  SDL_SysWMinfo info;

  SDL_Init(0);

  window = SDL_CreateWindow("", 0, 0, 0, 0, SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN);

  SDL_VERSION(&info.version); // initialize info structure with SDL version info

  if(SDL_GetWindowWMInfo(window,&info)) { // the call returns true on success
    // success
    const char *subsystem = "an unknown system!";
    switch(info.subsystem) {
      case SDL_SYSWM_UNKNOWN:   break;
      case SDL_SYSWM_WINDOWS:   subsystem = "Microsoft Windows(TM)";  break;
      case SDL_SYSWM_X11:       subsystem = "X Window System";        break;
      case SDL_SYSWM_DIRECTFB:  subsystem = "DirectFB";               break;
      case SDL_SYSWM_COCOA:     subsystem = "Apple OS X";             break;
      case SDL_SYSWM_UIKIT:     subsystem = "UIKit";                  break;
    }

    SDL_Log("This program is running SDL version %d.%d.%d on %s\n", 
        (int)info.version.major,
        (int)info.version.minor,
        (int)info.version.patch,
        subsystem);
  } else {
    // call failed
    SDL_LogError(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_ERROR, "Couldn't get window information: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
  }

  SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
  SDL_Quit();

  return 0;
}

Remarks

You must include SDL_syswm.h for the declaration of SDL_SysWMinfo.

The info structure must be initialized with the SDL version, and is then filled in with information about the given window, as shown in the Code Example.
