From: Tyler Montbriand <tsm@accesscomm.ca> To: sdl@libsdl.org Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 02:24:50 -0600 Subject: [SDL] WinCE timers, continued Here's a strange timer for Windows CE that doesn't ignore time across suspends. It uses GetSystemTime to keep the time continuous, and GetTicks to get finer-grained readings than 1 second. It detects the difference between the GetTicks time and GetSystemTime time on power-on to keep the error within one second max. It's not a patch on the current win32 timer code -- took one look at that and figured it had more than enough #ifdefs already. It's windows-ce specific. Another thing I've noticed is that the Windows CE 4.0 and newer API has functions warn processes about suspends. This is something SDL REALLY needs for audio in particular, because turning it off while it's playing causes anything that uses audio to hardlock the system on power-on. Unfortunately I don't have 4.0 to play with. :(

.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);
