SDL apps open with wrong window size
Author
Im using SDL with Dev-cpp. Whenever i open a program i made it opens in a tiny window. It looks like i set the surface with:
SDL_SetVideoMode(100, 0, 32, SDL_SWSURFACE);
Once i move the window it flicks back 2 the size i set it 2 be (800x600) but its really getting on my nerves. I reckon windows registry must hav saved that size but i dont know much about the registry. Any1 have any suggestions? I cant find a solution and iv been googling it for ages!
SDL doesn't store any information about its window.
Have you tried a call to MoveWindow() or ShowWindow() (both are Windows API functions) somewhere in your initialization function?
This should do the same as you moving the window manually, not a fix for the actual problem but I can't think of anything else.

What do i use for the HWND value?
Im a bit new to this.
Also it only happens on my laptop and only with sdl applications (i think).
My apps open fine on other comps.
Take a look at d window, its my avatar on this site, kinda funny:

You retrieve the HWND like so:
By the way is this WindowBlinds you running there or the Vista Beta or something? Maybe that would explain it.
SDL_SysWMinfo info;SDL_VERSION(&info.version);SDL_GetWMInfo(&info);MoveWindow(info.window, x, y, w, h, TRUE);By the way is this WindowBlinds you running there or the Vista Beta or something? Maybe that would explain it.

SDL_SetVideoMode(100, 0, 32, SDL_SWSURFACE);
Hm, why are you passing 100 for the width and 0 for the height? Does that still work? On my computer, if I pass in 0 for the height, it fails to run, even if I disable the Windows application style (SDL_NOFRAME). I'd suggest try not making the height 0, rather a larger smaller number, and see if it still does what you want it to do. On windows, all windows that use a certain window style have to have a minimal height. I'm not so sure on Windows what happens, but I bet it can be attributed to the weird results you are having.
