Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 23:04:58 -0700 From: "Trevor Scroggins" Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] DirectX and SDL_WINDOWID Hack Hello, all. The IDirectInputDevice2_SetCooperativeLevel call in SDL_dx5events.c expects to be passed a root-level HWND. More often than not, a child window is used with the SDL_WINDOWID hack, causing the IDirectInputDevice2_SetCooperativeLevel call to fail. This is a small patch to SDL_dx5events.c v1.21 that fixes the problem by retrieving a handle to the root-level ancestor of the current SDL_Window and passing that handle to IDirectInputDevice2_SetCooperativeLevel.

The latest development version of SDL is available via CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:guest@libsdl.org:/home/sdlweb/libsdl.org/cvs login
# No password, so just hit enter when prompted for a password
cvs -d :pserver:guest@libsdl.org:/home/sdlweb/libsdl.org/cvs checkout SDL

When you check a fresh copy of SDL out of CVS, you need to generate
the files used by make by running the "autogen.sh" script, which will
run aclocal, automake, autoconf and then run configure.

There is a web interface to cvs at http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi
