# SDL_HINT_ALLOW_TOPMOST

If set to "0" then never set the top most bit on a SDL Window, even if the video mode expects it.

## Header File

Defined in [SDL_hints.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_hints.h)

## Syntax

```c
#define SDL_HINT_ALLOW_TOPMOST "SDL_ALLOW_TOPMOST"
```

users. The default is "1"

This variable can be set to the following values:
