Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2006 11:41:04 -0500 From: "mystml@adinet.com.uy" Subject: [SDL] ALT-F4 using DirectX My game isn't getting SDL_QUIT when I press ALT-F4 using the DirectX driver; it does get SDL_QUIT when I press the red X in the window. I tracked this down to DX5_HandleMessage() in SDL_dx5events.c; WM_SYSKEYDOWN is being trapped and ignored which causes Windows not to post a WM_CLOSE, hence no SDL_QUIT is being generated. The relevant code is this : /* The keyboard is handled via DirectInput */ case WM_SYSKEYUP: case WM_SYSKEYDOWN: case WM_KEYUP: case WM_KEYDOWN: { /* Ignore windows keyboard messages */; } return(0); If I comment the WM_SYSKEYDOWN case, it falls through DefWindowProc() and ALT-F4 starts working again. I'm not sure about the best way to fix this. One option is handling ALT-F4 as a particular case somehow, but doesn't sound good. Another option would be to handle WM_SYSKEYDOWN separately and breaking instead of returning 0, so processing falls through and goes to DefWindowProc which does The Right Thing (TM). This seems to be the minimal change that makes ALT-F4 work and normal keyboard input continues to work. Does this sound reasonable? Am I overlooking anything? Do I submit a patch? --Gabriel

 ========================
  Using SDL with PicoGUI
 ========================

- Originally contributed by Micah Dowty <micahjd@users.sourceforge.net>

PicoGUI is a scalable GUI system with a unique architecture, primarily focused
on scalability to various embedded systems. You can find more information
including a FAQ at http://picogui.org

To use the patch:

  1. When compiling, add the "--enable-video-picogui" switch to ./configure

  2. When running your program, ensure that the picogui driver for SDL
     is in use by setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable 
     to "picogui".

  3. The program must also be linked to the C client library for PicoGUI
     (libpgui.so). If the program is being compiled with a patched SDL 
     installed this should be done automatically. If you want to use an
     existing binary with PicoGUI, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment
     variable to the path of your libpgui.so file.

Capabilities:

  So far only basic functionality is provided on true color (linear16/24/32)
  devices. Accessing a memory mapped bitmap, updating the display, and handling
  mouse/keyboard input. This functionality has been tested with several
  applications, including mplayer, Xine, sldroids, and Abuse.

TODO list:

  - YUV overlays will be helpful for watching video on set top boxes or other
    embedded devices that have some graphics acceleration hardware

  - Account for rotated bitmap storage in pgserver

  - Support for hiding or changing the cursor

  - The display should be centered when the SDL application is smaller
    than the PicoGUI panel

  - Fullscreen or any other special modes

  - Support for indexed and grayscale modes

  - Probably much more...
