# SDL_WarpMouseGlobal

Move the mouse to the given position in global screen space.

## Header File

Defined in [SDL_mouse.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_mouse.h), but apps should use `#include <SDL3/SDL.h>`

## Syntax

```c
int SDL_WarpMouseGlobal(float x, float y);

```

## Function Parameters

|           |                  |
| --------- | ---------------- |
| **x**     | the x coordinate |
| **y**     | the y coordinate |

## Return Value

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

## Remarks

This function generates a mouse motion event.

A failure of this function usually means that it is unsupported by a
platform.

Note that this function will appear to succeed, but not actually move the
mouse when used over Microsoft Remote Desktop.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
