NAME

       SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_USE_D3D9EX  -  A  variable  controlling  whether  SDL  uses the D3D9Ex API introduced in
       Windows Vista, instead of normal D3D9.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

       #define SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_USE_D3D9EX "SDL_WINDOWS_USE_D3D9EX"

DESCRIPTION

       Direct3D 9Ex contains changes to state management that can eliminate device loss errors during  scenarios
       like  Alt+Tab  or  UAC  prompts. D3D9Ex may require some changes to your application to cope with the new
       behavior, so this is disabled by default.

       For more information on Direct3D 9Ex, see:

       •               https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3darticles/graphics-apis-in-windows-
       vista#direct3d-9ex

       The variable can be set to the following values:

       • "0": Use the original Direct3D 9 API. (default)

       • "1": Use the Direct3D 9Ex API on Vista and later (and fall back if D3D9Ex is unavailable)

       This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.

AVAILABILITY

       This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
