Might I humbly suggest that you pause only if condition == true ? :)> ----- Original Message -----

Messagelol, i think he realizes that and just needs to know if theres an event or something when your window is minimized.

i wanna pause my game if this condition = true
tks
see ya!The code for handling the event would be something like
switch(event.type)
{
case SDL_ACTIVEEVENT:
if (event.active.state == SDL_APPACTIVE)
{
minimized = event.active.gain;
}
}
The event mask is : SDL_ACTIVEEVENTMASK
In other code (SDL_GetAppState() & SDL_APPACTIVE) would be true if the
window is visible. Or so I would assume.

Sorry( I’m gonna get flamed for the excessive noise I’ve been making )
minimized = (event.active.gain == 0) ? 1 : 0;
This is in the documentation/header files. When event.active.gain == 1,
the screen has been restored and is visible(!minimized).

#minimized = (event.active.gain == 0) ? 1 : 0;
Shouldn’t
minimized = event.active.gain;
be sufficient? Since (int)true==1 and (int)false==0…

except its reversed… minimized is true when gain is false 
maybe…
minimized = (event.active.gain == 0);
would be enough?
i dont know if that works on all systems though (ive heard rumors it
doesnt)…> ----- Original Message -----

If he’s using SDL with Pascal (KYlix, FPC via JEDI-SDL) like myself then
he’s right

Adilson.
minimized = (event.active.gain == 0) ? 1 : 0;
No.
On X11, you lose that flag when leaving the window. On MacOSX, you lose
that flag when the window loses keyboard focus.
Neither represent whether the window is minimized.

You have to check event.active.state for the mask of:
SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS, SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS, SDL_APPACTIVE
to determine what focus was gained or lost.
In your case, you want to check SDL_APPACTIVE.
Take a look at testwm.c in the test subdirectory of the SDL source archive.
See ya!
