Uint32 windowID vs. SDL_Window* window

SDL Development

I noticed that while most window related functions are now using
SDL_Window* instead of SDL_WindowID or Uint32, the event structures
still use Uint32 windowID.

Is this a bug or is there a reason for this?

Ok.

Just found SDL_GetWindowID() and SDL_GetWindowFromID(), which takes
care of the next obvious question…On 13 February 2011 13:30, Sam Lantinga wrote:
