When calling SDL_CreateWindowFrom(), make the window compatible with OpenGL.

Header File

Defined in SDL_hints.h

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_VIDEO_FOREIGN_WINDOW_OPENGL "SDL_VIDEO_FOREIGN_WINDOW_OPENGL"

Remarks

This variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Don't add any graphics flags to the SDL_WindowFlags
• "1": Add SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL to the SDL_WindowFlags

By default SDL will not make the foreign window compatible with OpenGL.
