NAME¶

SDL_SetWindowFullscreen - Request that the window's fullscreen state be changed.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <SDL3/SDL_video.h>

bool SDL_SetWindowFullscreen(SDL_Window *window, bool fullscreen);

DESCRIPTION¶

By default a window in fullscreen state uses borderless fullscreen desktop mode, but a specific exclusive display mode can be set using SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode().

On some windowing systems this request is asynchronous and the new fullscreen state may not have have been applied immediately upon the return of this function. If an immediate change is required, call SDL_SyncWindow() to block until the changes have taken effect.

When the window state changes, an SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_ENTER_FULLSCREEN or SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_LEAVE_FULLSCREEN event will be emitted. Note that, as this is just a request, it can be denied by the windowing system.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

window

fullscreen

true for fullscreen mode, false for windowed mode.

THREAD SAFETY¶
