NAME

       SDL_UserEvent - A user-defined event type

STRUCTURE DEFINITION

       typedef struct{
         Uint8 type;
         int code;
         void *data1;
         void *data2;
       } SDL_UserEvent;

STRUCTURE DATA

       type                SDL_USEREVENT through to SDL_NUMEVENTS-1

       code                User defined event code

       data1               User defined data pointer

       data2               User defined data pointer

DESCRIPTION

       SDL_UserEvent  is  in  the user member of the structure SDL_Event. This
       event is unique, it is never created by SDL but only by the  user.  The
       event  can  be  pushed  onto  the  event queue using SDL_PushEvent. The
       contents of the structure members or completely up to  the  programmer,
       the  only  requirement  is  that  type is a value from SDL_USEREVENT to
       SDL_NUMEVENTS-1 (inclusive).

EXAMPLES

       SDL_Event event;

       event.type = SDL_USEREVENT;
       event.user.code = my_event_code;
       event.user.data1 = significant_data;
       event.user.data2 = 0;
       SDL_PushEvent(&event);
