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 */

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch:
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/

 * Add mousewheel events (new unified event architecture?)
 * DirectInput joystick support needs to be implemented
 * Be able to enumerate and select available audio and video drivers
 * Fullscreen video mode support for Mac OS X
 * Explicit vertical retrace wait (maybe separate from SDL_Flip?)
 * Shaped windows, windows without borders
 * Multiple windows, multiple display support
 * SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD on Windows and MacOS?
 * Add a timestamp to events
 * Add audio input API
 * Add hardware accelerated scaled blit
 * Add hardware accelerated alpha blits
 * Redesign blitting architecture to allow blit plugins

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes.  This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.

Requests:
 * PCM and CDROM volume control (deprecated, but possible)
