SDL_CreatePopupWindow

Create a child popup window of the specified parent window.

The flags parameter* *must** contain at least one of the following:

- SDL_WINDOW_TOOLTIP: The popup window is a tooltip and will not pass any input events. - SDL_WINDOW_POPUP_MENU: The popup window is a popup menu. The topmost popup menu will implicitly gain the keyboard focus.

The following flags are not relevant to popup window creation and will be ignored:

- SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED - SDL_WINDOW_MAXIMIZED - SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN - SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS

The following flags are incompatible with popup window creation and will cause it to fail:

- SDL_WINDOW_UTILITY - SDL_WINDOW_MODAL

The parent parameter* *must** be non-null and a valid window. The parent of a popup window can be either a regular, toplevel window, or another popup window.

Popup windows cannot be minimized, maximized, made fullscreen, raised, flash, be made a modal window, be the parent of a toplevel window, or grab the mouse and/or keyboard. Attempts to do so will fail.

Popup windows implicitly do not have a border/decorations and do not appear on the taskbar/dock or in lists of windows such as alt-tab menus.

If a parent window is hidden or destroyed, any child popup windows will be recursively hidden or destroyed as well. Child popup windows not explicitly hidden will be restored when the parent is shown.
