What mouse events does windows 7 multitouch generate? I don't have any computer with multitouch, but a friend has. I can't debug on that computer, just test something now and then. And I can't get it to work. I have an SDL program with custom (OpenGL rendered) buttons. I use SDL mouse events to see...

SDL mouse window focus problem after using GetSaveFileName in Windows I've got a multiplatform program using SDL, with some OS-specific functionality, for example in the case of Windows the ability to use the MS Windows style file dialogs using GetSaveFileName and and GetOpenFileName of win32. The SDL program h...

SDL_GetMouseState vs SDL_MOUSEMOTION Using SDL 1.2, how does SDL_GetMouseState work compared to the event SDL_MOUSEMOTION? The problem is that my SDL application still doesn't work correctly in Windows 7 with a touch screen, when using the touch screen instead of a mouse (I'm not tal...

Mouse click on multitouch screen Hi, I made a GUI for OpenGL. Everything in there uses SDL and OpenGL, and so for example something like clicking on a button, is implemented by using SDL_GetMouseState to check at what X, Y coordinate the mouse currently is, which mouse butto...

How do you prefer your mouse pointer speed? Do you prefer your mouse pointer speed fast or slow? Personally I prefer it quite fast, other people using it are sometimes surprised. But I really can't stand it when my arm, instead of just my fingers, need to move to be able to reach every side...

Question about efficiency of virtual functions If you call a virtual function of a class many times in a row, in an inner loop, does a C++ program resolve the vtable every time again, or will the compiler optimize it so that it knows it's calling the exact same function every time in the inner lo...

The GDNet Classic Black theme Is anyone else using this theme? I'm so used to this theme that, if sometimes when I'm not logged in for some reason, I'm surprised to see GDNet in light colors. I guess I never really managed to adapt to the new colors introduced when the blac...

LodePaint feedback wanted! Hi, I've been improving LodePaint, a painting program I'm making. It's handier, has much more filters and image formats, and has a better looking GUI than last time I posted. The looks of the GUI were not really appreciated, so I tried to make...

Searching the internet harder than it used to be? As time progresses, I find the internet harder and harder to search. The biggest problem is all kinds of auto-generated blogs, and weird pages with search results in search results. For example, I googled for intellij scroll zoom with google to fi...

New GameDev.net Set to Launch in Early 2011 Looks more modern indeed, I like the comments sections in some screenshots, and the "share" things, and the redesigned G logo. Please do use custom icons for the forum and not the stock ones I see in the screenshots though!

SDL mouse window focus problem after using GetSaveFileName in Windows Here's the simplest SDL application that reproduces the bug: #include <SDL/SDL.h> #include "windows.h" #include "SDL/SDL_syswm.h" //only needed if you want to do "ofn.hwndOwner = hwnd;" int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { Uint32 flag...

SDL mouse window focus problem after using GetSaveFileName in Windows I tried SetFocus, SetForegroundWindow and SetCapture and none of these fix it. Interesting thing: in Windows my mouse cursor automatically becomes black over an SDL window, white over the rest. Before the file dialog thing, the mouse cursor is bla...
