SDL_RestoreWindow

Request that the size and position of a minimized or maximized window be restored.

Header File

Syntax

bool SDL_RestoreWindow(SDL_Window *window);

Function Parameters

SDL_Window *

window

the window to restore.

Return Value

(bool) Returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Remarks

On some windowing systems this request is asynchronous and the new window state may not have have been applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.

When the window state changes, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_RESTORED event will be emitted. Note that, as this is just a request, the windowing system can deny the state change.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.
