Explicitly set input focus to the window.

Header File

Function Parameters

window

the window that should get the input focus

Return Value

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Remarks

You almost certainly want SDL_RaiseWindow() instead of this function. Use this with caution, as you might give focus to a window that is completely obscured by other windows.
