We use a <TT +CLASS="FUNCTION" +>while</TT +> loop to process each event in turn. +<PRE +CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" +>while(SDL_PollEvent(&test_event)) {</PRE +> +The <TT +CLASS="FUNCTION" +>SDL_PollEvent</TT +> function take a pointer to an <SPAN +CLASS="STRUCTNAME" +>SDL_Event</SPAN +> structure that is to be filled with event information. We know that if <TT +CLASS="FUNCTION" +>SDL_PollEvent</TT +> removes an event from the queue then the event information will be placed in our <SPAN +CLASS="STRUCTNAME" +>test_event</SPAN +> structure, but we also know that the <SPAN +CLASS="emphasis" +><I +CLASS="EMPHASIS" +>type</I +></SPAN +> of event will be placed in the <TT +CLASS="STRUCTFIELD" +><I +>type</I +></TT +> member of <SPAN +CLASS="STRUCTNAME" +>test_event</SPAN +>. So to handle each event <TT +CLASS="STRUCTFIELD" +><I +>type</I +></TT +> seperately we use a <TT +CLASS="FUNCTION" +>switch</TT +> statement. +<PRE +CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" +> switch(test_event.type) {</PRE +> +We need to know what kind of events we're looking for <SPAN +CLASS="emphasis" +><I +CLASS="EMPHASIS" +>and</I +></SPAN +> the event <TT +CLASS="STRUCTFIELD" +><I +>type</I +></TT +>'s of those events. So lets assume we want to detect where the user is moving the mouse pointer within our application. We look through our event types and notice that <TT +CLASS="LITERAL" +>SDL_MOUSEMOTION</TT +> is, more than likely, the event we're looking for. A little <A +HREF="sdlmousemotionevent.html" +>more</A +> research tells use that <TT +CLASS="LITERAL" +>SDL_MOUSEMOTION</TT +> events are handled within the <A +HREF="sdlmousemotionevent.html" +><SPAN +CLASS="STRUCTNAME" +>SDL_MouseMotionEvent</SPAN +></A +> structure which is the <TT +CLASS="STRUCTFIELD" +><I +>motion</I +></TT +> member of <SPAN +CLASS="STRUCTNAME" +>SDL_Event</SPAN +>. We can check for the <TT +CLASS="LITERAL" +>SDL_MOUSEMOTION</TT +> event <TT +CLASS="STRUCTFIELD" +><I +>type</I +></TT +> within our <TT +CLASS="FUNCTION" +>switch</TT +> statement like so: +<PRE +CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" +> case SDL_MOUSEMOTION:</PRE +> +All we need do now is read the information out of the <TT +CLASS="STRUCTFIELD" +><I +>motion</I +></TT +> member of <SPAN +CLASS="STRUCTNAME" +>test_event</SPAN +>. +<PRE +CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" +> printf("We got a motion event.\n"); + printf("Current mouse position is: (%d, %d)\n", test_event.motion.x, test_event.motion.y); + break; + default: + printf("Unhandled Event!\n"); + break; + } +} +printf("Event queue empty.\n");</PRE +></P +><P +>It is also possible to push events onto the event queue and so use it as a two-way communication path.
