SDL_HINT_MOUSE_AUTO_CAPTURE

A variable controlling whether the mouse is captured while mouse buttons are pressed

Header File

Defined in SDL_hints.h

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_MOUSE_AUTO_CAPTURE    "SDL_MOUSE_AUTO_CAPTURE"

Remarks

This variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": The mouse is not captured while mouse buttons are pressed
• "1": The mouse is captured while mouse buttons are pressed

By default the mouse is captured while mouse buttons are pressed so if the mouse is dragged outside the window, the application continues to receive mouse events until the button is released.
