Under WIN32: DirectInput or normal event queue?

SDL Development
1

When (under Win32) I initialize SDL with:

SDL_Init (SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_AUDIO | SDL_FULLSCREEN | SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK);

the event queue passes through DirectInput or
through the normal winapi events handling ?

If it defaults to DirectInput, how can I make it
use the normal mode ?

Thanks,
Enzo.

Video & event stuff are tied pretty closely. IIRC, sdl tries to init DX
(and thus DI) first, and then falls back to the regular dib stuff if
that fails. Have a look through the src/video (I think SDL_video.c) code
and you’ll find the definitive answer.

You can find an example here.
