SDL_WindowID(3type)

💖 SDL_WindowID(3type) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL3 DATATYPES corner of the manual, where we're gonna talk about SDL_WindowID and honestly? it's giving main character energy for something so smol 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_WindowID — this is a unique ID for a window. that's it. that's the whole vibe. every window gets its own lil name tag and no two are the same 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_video.h>

typedef Uint32 SDL_WindowID;

so yeah, it's a typedef for a Uint32, and it lives in <SDL3/SDL_video.h>. go grab that header or nothing works, periodt 🌸

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the value 0 is an invalid ID. like, zero is not a real window, bestie, do not pass go, do not collect your window 💀

lowkey important: if you're checking whether an ID is real, 0 means nope. that's the whole rule and it's iconic.

---

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

this datatype has been available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older than that... no it isn't, girl, upgrade 🧚

and that's the page!! this one came to you from the Simple Directmedia Layer girlies, running the SDL 3.4.18 era of the docs 👑 stay hydrated, check your IDs for zero, and slay 💖✨🎀
