🌸 NAME 🌸

al_init_native_dialog_addon — Allegro 5 API 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>

bool al_init_native_dialog_addon(void)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this is the glow-up function that initialises the native dialog addon, bestie. 💅

It returns true on success and false on error, periodt.

🦋 SINCE 🦋

This has been iconic since 5.0.9 and 5.1.0 ✨

🚨 Note: Prior to Allegro 5.1.0 native dialog functions could be called without explicit initialisation, but that is now deprecated. Future functionality may require explicit initialisation. An exception is al_show_native_message_box(3), which may be useful to show an error message if Allegro fails to initialise. 😭
