Date: Mon, 3 May 2004 03:15:01 +0100 From: David Symmonds Subject: SDL Typedef Structs Hi, Thanks for the SDL libraries, I have been using them for about a year now and they are really brilliant. One thing that I have just found whilst using them through C++ (and needing forward declarations) is that when you typedef structs you sometimes use typedef struct Name { ... }Name; e.g. SDL_Surface and other times use typedef struct { ... }Name; e.g. SDL_Rect The first type works fine, when I define a header file I can just put 'struct Name;' at the top and use the Name throughout. However, the second type is harder to use in a header, and I haven't found a way yet, other than to include 'SDL.h' in the header file (undesirable). Would there be any harm in changing the definition of SDL_Rect and such like to the second form?

.SH "NAME"
SDL_EnableUNICODE\- Enable UNICODE translation
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_EnableUNICODE\fP\fR(\fBint enable\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Enables/Disables Unicode keyboard translation\&.
.PP
To obtain the character codes corresponding to received keyboard events, Unicode translation must first be turned on using this function\&. The translation incurs a slight overhead for each keyboard event and is therefore disabled by default\&. For each subsequently received key down event, the \fBunicode\fR member of the \fI\fBSDL_keysym\fR\fR structure will then contain the corresponding character code, or zero for keysyms that do not correspond to any character code\&.
.PP
A value of 1 for \fBenable\fR enables Unicode translation; 0 disables it, and -1 leaves it unchanged (useful for querying the current translation mode)\&.
.PP
Note that only key press events will be translated, not release events\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns the previous translation mode (\fB0\fR or \fB1\fR)\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
