Fixed bug #750 Since many different event structures include windowID it should be placed near the beginning of the structure (preferably right after type) so it's position is the same between different events. This is to avoid code like this: if (event.type == SDL_WINDOWEVENT) win = event.window.windowID; else if ((SDL_EVENTMASK(event.type) & SDL_KEYEVENTMASK) != 0) win = event.key.windowID; else if (event.type == SDL_TEXTINPUT) win = event.text.windowID; else if (event.type == SDL_MOUSEMOTION) win = event.motion.windowID; else if ((SDL_EVENTMASK(event.type) & (SDL_MOUBUTTONDOWNMASK | SDL_MOUBUTTONUPMASK)) != 0) win = event.button.windowID; else if (event.type == SDL_MOUSEWHEEL) win = event.wheel.windowID; ... in favor of: win = event.window.windowID;

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_MouseMotionEvent\fR is a member of the \fI\fBSDL_Event\fR\fR union and is used when an event of type \fBSDL_MOUSEMOTION\fP is reported\&.
.PP
Simply put, a \fBSDL_MOUSEMOTION\fP type event occurs when a user moves the mouse within the application window or when \fI\fBSDL_WarpMouse\fP\fR is called\&. Both the absolute (\fBx\fR and \fBy\fR) and relative (\fBxrel\fR and \fByrel\fR) coordinates are reported along with the current button states (\fBstate\fR)\&. The button state can be interpreted using the \fBSDL_BUTTON\fP macro (see \fI\fBSDL_GetMouseState\fP\fR)\&.
.PP
If the cursor is hidden (\fI\fBSDL_ShowCursor\fP(0)\fR) and the input is grabbed (\fI\fBSDL_WM_GrabInput\fP(SDL_GRAB_ON)\fR), then the mouse will give relative motion events even when the cursor reaches the edge fo the screen\&. This is currently only implemented on Windows and Linux/Unix-a-likes\&.
