Description cra0zy@gmail.com 2016-03-13 13:14:25 UTC 
From https://wiki.libsdl.org/CategoryVideo there doesn't seem to be a way of setting window resizable property after the window has been created.

I know that SDL 1.2 could change this property.

Are you sure? As far as I know, resizing was only specified in SDL_SetVideoMode (which (re)creates the window).
Comment 2 cra0zy@gmail.com 2016-03-15 17:34:24 UTC 
I knew about the function, but I didn't know it recreated the entire window just to do it...

Are there any API limitations that prevent you from adding this functionality?
Comment 3 Alex Szpakowski 2016-03-15 20:09:22 UTC 
on iOS nothing prevents it, and on OS X nothing prevents it in 10.6+. SDL still supports 10.5 but probably not for much longer. I don't know the other platform APIs well enough to say whether it's possible in Windows / Linux / Android without double-checking.
Comment 4 Alex Szpakowski 2016-03-15 20:10:41 UTC 
Er, to clarify, I mean the platform APIs do support changing resizability at runtime without recreating the window, on iOS and OS X (even though SDL doesn't yet).
Comment 5 cra0zy@gmail.com 2016-03-15 22:31:27 UTC 
Thanks for the info.

If you were wondering why I needed this, well I am currently working on SDL2 version of MonoGame, and one of the things it needs is a way of setting window resizable param: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.gamewindow.allowuserresizing.aspx

For now I've just delayed window creation to after the constructor so resizable param can be set in it, tho it can't be changed later on.

The patch https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/ad12658bc7ae fixed this.
