   SDL and multiple windows
  I'm building a GUI using OpenGL and SDL and I was wondering if there was a way I could create multiple windows from my application or does SDL only allow for one window per application?  I'm looking for actual window system windows, but I'm thinking I'll have to create SDL surfaces and manage them myself.Cheers, Bob   
  SDL supports a single window, which it creates and manipulates. support for multiple windows is planned but will not be in the short term. there have been people who have achieved this ( no links, sorry ) but in general it was a hack, one that was usually sinlge platform anyway.   ;  The best you can currently perform properly (without an odd hacky method as the above poster mentioned) is to simulate a windowed environment within a fullscreen SDL window.  Here is an example: window thingyI made a gui from scratch with SDL a year ago.  It sucked, but I learned a lot.  I looked into doing multiple windows but at that time there wasn't much out there except promises that it would be implemented in later versions.  I haven't looked into it lately so sorry if that information is dated.   ;  Thanks for your help.  Cheers, Bob
