# al\_apply\_window\_constraints(3alleg5)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_apply\_window\_constraints - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  void al_apply_window_constraints(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, bool onoff)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Enable or disable previously set constraints by al\_set\_window\_constraints(3alleg5) function.

If enabled, the specified display will be automatically resized to new sizes to conform constraints in next cases:

- •

  The specified display is resizable, not maximized and is not in fullscreen mode.

- •

  If the appropriate current display size (width or height) is less than the value of constraint. Applied to minimum constraints.

- •

  If the appropriate current display size (width or height) is greater than the value of constraint. Applied to maximum constraints.

Constrains are not applied when a display is toggle from windowed to maximized or fullscreen modes. When a display is toggle from maximized/fullscreen to windowed mode, then the display may be resized as described above. The later case is also possible when a user drags the maximized display via mouse.

If disabled, the specified display will stop using constraints.
