Title: [Solved][C++] Position of the window?
Post by: sjegtp on February 26, 2009, 05:46:52 pm: How can I set the starting position of the window of the program?
I'm using C++ with SDL.

Post by: sjegtp on February 27, 2009, 12:19:02 pm: Hmm... the problem is that SDL creates the window automatically for you, so if I call this function I'll end up creating another window.
Is there a way to modify the x and y values after the window was created?

EDIT: Never mind, I *finally* found it at google.
Code: [Select]
SDL_SysWMinfo i; SDL_VERSION( &i.version ); if ( SDL_GetWMInfo ( &i) ) { HWND hwnd = i.window; SetWindowPos( hwnd, HWND_TOP, x, y, width, height, flags ); }

needs to be set before you init the window.

I just tried that now, but the previous code worked better.

Anyway, problem solved.
