SDL_HINT_FORCE_RAISEWINDOW

A variable controlling whether raising the window should be done more forcefully

Header File

Defined in SDL_hints.h

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_FORCE_RAISEWINDOW    "SDL_HINT_FORCE_RAISEWINDOW"

Remarks

This variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": No forcing (the default)
• "1": Extra level of forcing

At present, this is only an issue under MS Windows, which makes it nearly impossible to programmatically move a window to the foreground, for "security" reasons. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/34414846 for a discussion.
