Remarks
If this hint is set before SDL_CreateWindowFrom() and the SDL_Window* it is set to has SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL set (and running on WGL only, currently), then two things will occur on the newly created SDL_Window:
- Its pixel format will be set to the same pixel format as this SDL_Window. This is needed for example when sharing an OpenGL context across multiple windows.
- The flag SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL will be set on the new window so it can be used for OpenGL rendering.
Version
This hint is available since SDL 2.0.2.
