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_VideoModeOK \- Check to see if a particular video mode is supported\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_VideoModeOK\fP\fR(\fBint width, int height, int bpp, Uint32 flags\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_VideoModeOK\fP returns \fB0\fR if the requested mode is not supported under any bit depth, or returns the bits-per-pixel of the closest available mode with the given width, height and requested \fIsurface\fR flags (see \fI\fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP\fR)\&.
.PP
The bits-per-pixel value returned is only a suggested mode\&. You can usually request and bpp you want when \fIsetting\fR the video mode and SDL will emulate that color depth with a shadow video surface\&.
.PP
The arguments to \fBSDL_VideoModeOK\fP are the same ones you would pass to \fISDL_SetVideoMode\fR
.SH "EXAMPLE"
