Allegro 5 api

Usage

#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>
bool al_init_native_dialog_addon(void)

Overview

Initialise the native dialog addon.

Returns true on success, false on error.

Since

5.0.9, 5.1.0

Note: Prior to Allegro 5.1.0 native dialog functions could be called without explicit initialisation, but that is now deprecated. Future functionality may require explicit initialisation. An exception is al_show_native_message_box(3), which may be useful to show an error message if Allegro fails to initialise.
