Chris,

The way you would do that would be to access the SDL_Thread structure.

The SDL_Thread structures source is like this: (i checked the source code)

struct SDL_Thread {
Uint32 threadid;
SYS_ThreadHandle handle;
int status;
SDL_error errbuf;
void *data;
};

You should access the handle variable and change the priority of the
thread that way. If you want to change the priority of the program
though, you might have to recompile sdl.

Thanks - it took me a while to find the SDL_Thread struct definition. Do you
know if the status variable indicates the thread’s priority? Also, do you
know where in the source code I can find definitions of the different values
for different priority levels (or are they the same as in the Windows API)?
Please let me know. Thanks again.

Chris
