120 ><P
121 >This function sets up a filter to process all events before they are posted
122 to the event queue. This is a very powerful and flexible feature. The filter
123 is prototyped as:
124 <PRE
125 CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
126 >typedef int (*SDL_EventFilter)(const SDL_Event *event);</PRE
127 >
128 If the filter returns <SPAN
129 CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
130 >1</SPAN
131 >, then the event will be
132 added to the internal queue. If it returns <SPAN
133 CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
134 >0</SPAN
135 >,
136 then the event will be dropped from the queue. This allows selective
137 filtering of dynamically.</P
138 ><P
139 >There is one caveat when dealing with the <TT
140 CLASS="LITERAL"
141 >SDL_QUITEVENT</TT
142 > event type. The
143 event filter is only called when the window manager desires to close the
144 application window. If the event filter returns 1, then the window will
145 be closed, otherwise the window will remain open if possible.
146 If the quit event is generated by an interrupt signal, it will bypass the
147 internal queue and be delivered to the application at the next event poll.</P
