SDL 1.3 checking if a window is shown or not

SDL Development
1

Is this the proper way to do it:

int window_visible = (SDL_GetWindowFlags( context->window ) &
SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);

Or does SDL_GetWindowFlags() only look at the initialization flags? If
that’s the case, I can manually keep track of it, but I was just wondering
out of convenience.

Also as an tangent of the question, do SDL_ShowWindow() and SDL_HideWindow()
change the flags?

Thanks,
-Alex

Yes, that’s the proper way to do it, and yes the flags are kept in
sync with the state of the window.On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 10:59 AM, Alex Barry <alex.barry at gmail.com> wrote:
