I have one query regarding changed version of SDL_Init() in SDL 1.3.
My application was built using SDL 1.2.12 version and the basic flow of it
is that
On playing the media file, SDL_Init is called.
And at the end of it, after its completion, stream_component_close() is
called which in turn calls SDL_Quit().
For playing each file, the above steps were repeated and it used to work
fine. But with SDL1.3, multiple calling of SDL_Init() is failing coz of the
following code which has been added in SDL1.3 only.
I actually added that HelperWindow. It’s there so you can use
joystick/haptic functions before creating the window. It creates a
window that is invisible to the user, but that window is the one that
grabs all the joystick input and allows the haptic output. It should be
destroyed when you run SDL_Quit so it can be recreated. If it isn’t
that’s an issue.

#if defined(WIN32)
if (SDL_HelperWindowCreate() < 0) {*
return -1;*
}
#endif
Basically, the following api fails in it.
*SDL_HelperWindowClass = RegisterClassEx(&wce) *
**
So can u please explain me its significance and its workaround.

It probably isn’t. Edgar, can you investigate and commit a fix?
Thanks!

Hello,On it, although I’m pretty bad at windows coding and have no windows systems. Edgar Sam Lantinga wrote:

Could you please tell us how your program fails? What happens exactly?
Can you provide an example program to demonstrate the problem?On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 7:01 AM, Preeti Anand wrote:
