Fixed bug #618 Description From Tim Angus 2008-08-30 12:23:56 (-) [reply] As we all know SDL 1.2 doesn't handle dead keys well since one key press potentially equals two (or more) characters. For example, on many layouts, keying <backquote>,<space> results in <no character>,<backquote><space>. Since the unicode member of the SDL_keysym struct only has room for one character, only one can be returned. On Linux, the first character is returned. On Windows however, unless the exact number of characters generated by the keypress is 1, nothing is returned. The following patch addresses this inconsistency. Updated patch which includes a further fix to the handling of the numpad when numlock is on. This further fix is courtesy Amanieu d'Antras.

\fBSDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS\fP if mouse focus was gained or lost, \fBSDL_APPINPUTFOCUS\fP if input focus was gained or lost, or \fBSDL_APPACTIVE\fP if the application was iconified (\fBgain\fR=0) or restored(\fBgain\fR=1)\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_ActiveEvent\fR is a member of the \fI\fBSDL_Event\fR\fR union and is used when an event of type \fBSDL_ACTIVEEVENT\fP is reported\&.
.PP
When the mouse leaves or enters the window area a \fBSDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS\fP type activation event occurs, if the mouse entered the window then \fBgain\fR will be 1, otherwise \fBgain\fR will be 0\&. A \fBSDL_APPINPUTFOCUS\fP type activation event occurs when the application loses or gains keyboard focus\&. This usually occurs when another application is made active\&. Finally, a \fBSDL_APPACTIVE\fP type event occurs when the application is either minimised/iconified (\fBgain\fR=0) or restored\&.
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
This event does not occur when an application window is first created\&.
