# SDL_SetWindowGrab

Set a window's input grab mode.

## Header File

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

## Syntax

```c
void SDL_SetWindowGrab(SDL_Window * window,
                       SDL_bool grabbed);

```

## Function Parameters

|                 |                                                                               |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **window**      | the window for which the input grab mode should be set                        |
| **grabbed**     | [SDL_TRUE](SDL_TRUE) to grab input or [SDL_FALSE](SDL_FALSE) to release input |

## Remarks

When input is grabbed, the mouse is confined to the window. This function
will also grab the keyboard if
[`SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD`](SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD) is set. To grab the
keyboard without also grabbing the mouse, use
[SDL_SetWindowKeyboardGrab](SDL_SetWindowKeyboardGrab)().

If the caller enables a grab while another window is currently grabbed, the
other window loses its grab in favor of the caller's window.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
