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 */

The latest development version of SDL is available via Subversion.
Subversion allows you to get up-to-the-minute fixes and enhancements;
as a developer works on a source tree, you can use svn to mirror that
source tree instead of waiting for an official release. Please look
at the Subversion website ( http://subversion.tigris.org/ ) for more
information on using svn, where you can also download software for
MacOS, Windows, and Unix systems.

  svn checkout http://svn.libsdl.org/branches/SDL-1.2

If you are building SDL with an IDE, you will need to copy the file
include/SDL_config.h.default to include/SDL_config.h before building.

If you are building SDL via configure, you will need to run autogen.sh
before running configure.

There is a web interface to the subversion repository at:
	http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/viewvc.cgi

There is an RSS feed available at that URL, for those that want to
track commits in real time.
