Event.button.which in SDL 1.3

SDL Development

In earlier versions of the SDL 1.3 trunk, I have used the which-attribute in SDL_MouseButtonEvent on the iPhone to distinguish between multitouch events (i.e. to have an index for each finger).

It seems that this is gone now in current trunk. Why? It has worked just fine. What is the replacement?

Thanks,
Albert

SDL without multi-touch-events is pretty much useless for the iPhone/iPad.

When was the latest time where it worked?

I found the commit. It is:

changeset: 4465:3e69e077cb95

description:
Removed multi-mouse / multi-keyboard support in anticipation of a real multi-mouse and multi-touch API.

Plus, this lets me start implementing cursor support.

I’ll try to go to 4464 and use that one for now.
