✨ SDL_HideCursor ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, today we're talking about SDL_HideCursor and honestly? it does exactly what it says on the tin 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

SDL_HideCursor — hide the cursor. yes. that's it. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's iconic, she ate 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_mouse.h>

bool SDL_HideCursor(void);

no arguments, no drama, just vibes ✨

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

  • returns true on success 💚
  • returns false on failure 😭

and if it fails? call SDL_GetError() for more information, bestie, because she will NOT elaborate on her own. go ask her friend. 👑

🦋 THREAD SAFETY 🦋

lowkey important: this function should only be called on the main thread. do not try to be cute and call it from a worker thread, she does not play like that 🙈

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0 ✨ so if you're on something older... yeah. upgrade era. 💅

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐
