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 "NAME"
SDL_SysWMEvent \- Platform-dependent window manager event\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The system window manager event contains a pointer to system-specific information about unknown window manager events\&. If you enable this event using \fI\fBSDL_EventState()\fP\fR, it will be generated whenever unhandled events are received from the window manager\&. This can be used, for example, to implement cut-and-paste in your application\&. 
.PP
.nf
\f(CWtypedef struct {
         Uint8 type;   /* Always SDL_SysWM */
 } SDL_SysWMEvent;\fR
.fi
.PP
 If you want to obtain system-specific information about the window manager, you can fill the version member of a \fBSDL_SysWMinfo\fR structure (details can be found in \fBSDL_syswm\&.h\fP, which must be included) using the \fBSDL_VERSION()\fP macro found in \fBSDL_version\&.h\fP, and pass it to the function: 
.PP
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_GetWMInfo\fP\fR(\fBSDL_SysWMinfo *info\fR);
