NAME

       SDL_SetWindowPosition - Request that the window's position be set.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_video.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       bool SDL_SetWindowPosition(SDL_Window *window, int x, int y);

DESCRIPTION

       If the window is in an exclusive fullscreen or maximized state, this request has no effect.

       This can be used to reposition fullscreen-desktop windows onto a different display, however, as exclusive
       fullscreen windows are locked to a specific display, they can only be repositioned programmatically via

       SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode ().

       On  some  windowing  systems  this request is asynchronous and the new coordinates 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 position changes, an

       SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_MOVED
        event will be emitted with the window's new coordinates. Note that the new coordinates may not match the
       exact coordinates requested, as some windowing systems can restrict the position of the window in certain
       scenarios (e.g. constraining the position so the window is always within desktop  bounds).  Additionally,
       as this is just a request, it can be denied by the windowing system.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       window the window to reposition.

       x      the x coordinate of the window, or SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED or SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED .

       y      the y coordinate of the window, or SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED or SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED .

RETURN VALUE

       Returns true on success or false on failure; call

       SDL_GetError () for more information.

THREAD SAFETY

       This function should only be called on the main thread.

AVAILABILITY

       This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
