My game isn’t getting SDL_QUIT when I press ALT-F4 using the DirectX
driver; it does get SDL_QUIT when I press the red X in the window.
I tracked this down to DX5_HandleMessage() in SDL_dx5events.c;
WM_SYSKEYDOWN is being trapped and ignored which causes Windows not to post
a WM_CLOSE, hence no SDL_QUIT is being generated.
The relevant code is this :
/* The keyboard is handled via DirectInput */
case WM_SYSKEYUP:
case WM_SYSKEYDOWN:
case WM_KEYUP:
case WM_KEYDOWN: {
/* Ignore windows keyboard messages */;
}
return(0);
If I comment the WM_SYSKEYDOWN case, it falls through DefWindowProc() and
ALT-F4 starts working again.
I’m not sure about the best way to fix this. One option is handling ALT-F4
as a particular case somehow, but doesn’t sound good. Another option would
be to handle WM_SYSKEYDOWN separately and breaking instead of returning 0,
so processing falls through and goes to DefWindowProc which does The Right
Thing ™. This seems to be the minimal change that makes ALT-F4 work and
normal keyboard input continues to work.
Does this sound reasonable? Am I overlooking anything? Do I submit a patch?
