SDL_HINT_WIN...E_MESSAGELOOP(3)

💖 NAME 💖

SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_ENABLE_MESSAGELOOP — bestie, it's the variable that controls whether the Windows message loop gets processed by SDL. That's the whole gig. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_ENABLE_MESSAGELOOP "SDL_WINDOWS_ENABLE_MESSAGELOOP"

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this hint takes values, and there are exactly two of them, no in-between, no secret third option, we love a clear binary moment:

• "0" — the window message loop is not run. nope. she's off duty. 💅
• "1" — the window message loop is processed in SDL_PumpEvents(). this is the default, so if you never touched it, congrats, this is your vibe. ✨

🦋 this hint can be set anytime. no timing drama, no "you had to do it before init" nonsense. whenever you want, queen.

---

🌸 AVAILABILITY 🌸

this hint has been around since SDL 3.2.0, so it's lowkey a legend at this point. 🫶
