SDL_CreateWindowFrom

Create an SDL window from an existing native window.

Header File

SDL_Window * SDL_CreateWindowFrom(const void *data);

const void *

data

a pointer to driver-dependent window creation data, typically your native window cast to a void*.

(SDL_Window *) Returns the window that was created or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

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().

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
