Use SDL_GetAppState() or SDL_ActiveEvent.
I have an example of using SDL_ActiveEvent here

Thanks.
What I'm trying to do is pause my game whenever the window is minimized. I still can't seem to get it to work. It's probably very wrong, but here is the code I put in:
What happens with this is that it now pauses when the mouse leaves the window, but not when it is minimized.
Thanks again for any help.

state:
a bitmask of the following values: SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS if mouse focus was gained or lost, SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS if input focus was gained or lost, and SDL_APPACTIVE if the application was iconified (gain=0) or restored(gain=1).
so that would make it
if(event.active.type == SDL_APPACTIVE) if( (event.active.state & SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS) && (event.active.gain == 0) ) paused = true;If I'm not mistaken

I tried it, but it didn't work. I'll look over that link again and see if I can work it out.
The operation is bitwise

//If the window focus changed else if( event.type == SDL_ACTIVEEVENT ) { //If the window was inconified or restored if( event.active.state & SDL_APPACTIVE ) { //If the application is no longer active if( event.active.gain == 0 ) { SDL_WM_SetCaption( "Window Event Test: Iconified", NULL ); } else { SDL_WM_SetCaption( "Window Event Test", NULL ); } }This topic is closed to new replies.
