SDL_SystemCursor(3type)

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_SystemCursor(3type) page from the SDL3 DATATYPES corner of the manual ✨ this one is literally just cursor enum energy, and it ate 💅

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_SystemCursor — the cursor types you pass to SDL_CreateSystemCursor() 🖱️💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first up, the include, no cap:

#include <SDL3/SDL_mouse.h>

and then the enum itself, every single member, exactly as it lives in <SDL3/SDL_mouse.h> 🫶:

typedef enum SDL_SystemCursor
{
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_DEFAULT,      /**< Default cursor. Usually an arrow. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_TEXT,         /**< Text selection. Usually an I-beam. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_WAIT,         /**< Wait. Usually an hourglass or watch or spinning ball. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_CROSSHAIR,    /**< Crosshair. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_PROGRESS,     /**< Program is busy but still interactive. Usually it's WAIT with an arrow. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_NWSE_RESIZE,  /**< Double arrow pointing northwest and southeast. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_NESW_RESIZE,  /**< Double arrow pointing northeast and southwest. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_EW_RESIZE,    /**< Double arrow pointing west and east. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_NS_RESIZE,    /**< Double arrow pointing north and south. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_MOVE,         /**< Four pointed arrow pointing north, south, east, and west. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_NOT_ALLOWED,  /**< Not permitted. Usually a slashed circle or crossbones. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_POINTER,      /**< Pointer that indicates a link. Usually a pointing hand. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_NW_RESIZE,    /**< Window resize top-left. This may be a single arrow or a double arrow like NWSE_RESIZE. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_N_RESIZE,     /**< Window resize top. May be NS_RESIZE. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_NE_RESIZE,    /**< Window resize top-right. May be NESW_RESIZE. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_E_RESIZE,     /**< Window resize right. May be EW_RESIZE. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_SE_RESIZE,    /**< Window resize bottom-right. May be NWSE_RESIZE. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_S_RESIZE,     /**< Window resize bottom. May be NS_RESIZE. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_SW_RESIZE,    /**< Window resize bottom-left. May be NESW_RESIZE. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_W_RESIZE,     /**< Window resize left. May be EW_RESIZE. */
    SDL_SYSTEM_CURSOR_COUNT
} SDL_SystemCursor;

💖 AVAILABILITY 💖

this enum has been available since SDL 3.2.0 — so it's not brand-new-new, but it's still iconic, periodt 👑🦋

---

later bestie! this page came from Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18, and the manual name is SDL_SystemCursor(3type) 💖✨ the footer doesn't list a date, just source and version, so that's the whole vibe 🫶
