No window bar SDL C++ application

Usually when somebody opens a program, like eclipse, or word, or excel, before the program start a small little window without window bar is shown (where the quit button is for example).

How I do it in C++ with SDL? I know how to make an standard window but not how to make a window without window bar

Solution

  • For SDL 1.x, pass SDL_NOFRAME in the flags argument of SDL_SetVideoMode.

    SDL_Surface * window = SDL_SetVideoMode(width, height, bpp, flags | SDL_NOFRAME);

    For SDL 2.x, use SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS in the flags argument of SDL_CreateWindow.

    SDL_Window * window = SDL_CreateWindow(title, x, y, width, height, flags | SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS);
