I’d like to know how I can do mouse grabbing with SDL, like in heroes3
or civCTP when i hit CTRL-G.

Thanks,

RTFM!

#ifdef SDL_GRAB_ON
static int grabbed;

if( grabbed ) {
    SDL_WM_GrabInput(SDL_GRAB_OFF);
    grabbed=0;
} else {
    if( SDL_WM_GrabInput(SDL_GRAB_ON)==SDL_GRAB_ON ) {
        grabbed=1;
    }
}

#endif // SDL_GRAB_ON

The #define is for older SDL version which didn’t support this function.

Thank you for your answer. I looked for this function in the
documentation but i couldn’t find it. In which section is it ?

Thanks,
