SDL_HINT_QUIT_ON_LAST_WINDOW_CLOSE3

#define SDL_HINT_QUIT_ON_LAST_WINDOW_CLOSE SDL_QUIT_ON_LAST_WINDOW_CLOSE"

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

Overview

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": SDL will not send an SDL_EVENT_QUIT
event when the
last window is requesting to close. Note that in this case, there are
still other legitimate reasons one might get an

SDL_EVENT_QUIT
event: choosing "Quit" from the macOS
menu bar, sending a SIGINT (ctrl-c) on Unix, etc.

• "1": SDL will send a quit event when the last window is requesting to
close. (default)

If there is at least one active system tray icon,

SDL_EVENT_QUIT
will instead be sent when both the last window will be closed and the last tray icon will be destroyed.

This hint can be set anytime.
