The core pointer is comprised of merging the inputs of all mice. If there are other mice, they should show up in the device list, and we want to report events from those devices instead of the core events. However, if XInput isn't supported or we can't find other mice in the device list, we'll add the core pointer and interpret normal mouse events.

>The system window manager event contains a pointer to system-specific 
information about unknown window manager events.  If you enable this event
using 
<A
HREF="sdleventstate.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_EventState()</TT
></A
>, 
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.

<PRE

>typedef struct {
         Uint8 type;   /* Always SDL_SYSWMEVENT */
         SDL_SysWMmsg *msg;
 } SDL_SysWMEvent;</PRE
>

If you want to obtain system-specific information about the window manager,
you can fill the version member of a <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_SysWMinfo</SPAN
> 
structure (details can be found in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SDL_syswm.h</TT
>, which must be included) using the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_VERSION()</TT
> macro found in 
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SDL_version.h</TT
>, and pass it to the 
function:
