Fixed bug #901 Tim Angus 2009-12-11 11:45:46 PST Disable mouse event generation when state is not SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS If a Windows SDL application is minimised by using alt-tab, SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS is lost as part of the minimisation. Unfortunately, the directx driver doesn't pay any attention to this state when generating mouse button events, so clicking on the Desktop can cause mouse clicks in the SDL application, while it's still minimised. The attached patch fixes this. It looks much more complicated than it actually is due to indentation; here it is ignoring whitespace: tma@abraxas:~/sources/SDL-1.2-svn$ svn diff -x -b Index: src/video/windx5/SDL_dx5events.c =================================================================== --- src/video/windx5/SDL_dx5events.c (revision 5376) +++ src/video/windx5/SDL_dx5events.c (working copy) @@ -374,10 +374,9 @@ if ( !(SDL_GetAppState() & SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS) ) { mouse_lost = 1; ClipCursor(NULL); - } - + } else { /* If the mouse was lost, regain some sense of mouse state */ - if ( mouse_lost && (SDL_GetAppState() & SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS) ) { + if ( mouse_lost ) { POINT mouse_pos; Uint8 old_state; Uint8 new_state; @@ -548,6 +547,7 @@ if ( xrel || yrel ) { post_mouse_motion(1, xrel, yrel); } + } } /* The main Win32 event handler */

To compile and install SDL:

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
