Generic SDL_SysWMinfo data

SDL Development

Hello,

When receiving a generic SDL_SysWMinfo from SDL_GetWMInfo, what exactly is
the data (in particular, for Mac)? The generic struct just says SDL_version
and an int that represents data. But what is that data?

Thanks,

Ryan

Hello,

I was really hoping somebody might be able to answer this question. Was it
a stupid question that I shouldn’t have asked or is it just that nobody
knows the answer?

Thanks,

Ryan

There is no data that’s exposed on the Mac. I’m not sure if you can even
transfer anything from Objective C via a C pointer. ?

Thanks for the response. There’s a reason for this question, regarding Mac
windows, but I’ll start another thread for that. Thanks again.
