✨ SDL_SetWindowResizable ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual — it's SDL_SetWindowResizable(3) and it's literally about letting people drag your window bigger or smaller 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_SetWindowResizable — set the user-resizable state of a window. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_video.h>

bool SDL_SetWindowResizable(SDL_Window *window, bool resizable);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what this does is it adds or removes the window's SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE flag and allows/disallows user resizing of the window. like, you flip the switch, the flag flips with you. iconic. ✨

ngl if the window's resizable state already matches the state you're asking for, this is a no-op. nothing happens. zero drama. it's giving "we already knew" 😌

and okay important one: you can't change the resizable state of a fullscreen window. fullscreen windows said "no thank you" and honestly? valid. 🚫

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

  • window — the window of which to change the resizable state. yep, that one. the window right there 👈
  • resizable — true to allow resizing, false to disallow. pick your fighter 🥊

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

returns true on success or false on failure 🥲 and if it fails, call SDL_GetError() for more information — she will tell you what went wrong, fr fr.

🧵 THREAD SAFETY 🧵

🚨 this function should only be called on the main thread. main character energy only, no side quests, no background threads. periodt. 👑

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older… bestie. upgrade. 😭
