This is kinda a sdl question, but i figured i'd ask in here too since i'm using dosbox.

Is there a way i can send standard windows messages to sdl and have them caught and return the msg number, wparam, and lparam?

i've hooked up an event filter which is catching messages posted with SendMessage from c#, but i cannot seem to be able to get the details of the message back.

So far it's like this:

1int FilterEvents(const SDL_Event *event) {
2		printf("%d\n",(const char*)event);
3		return (1);
4	}

Check SDL_SysWMEvent documentation on SDL site...

Golden.

If anyone else is after this kind of thing, here's a bit of a snippet of what i ended up doing:

1	int FilterEvents(const SDL_Event *event) {
2		// we'll handle only SDL_SYSWMEVENT events
3		if (event->type == SDL_SYSWMEVENT)
4		{
5			SDL_SysWMmsg *wmmsg;
6			wmmsg = event->syswm.msg;
7			//printf("%d\n",(char*)wmmsg->msg);
8
9			switch (wmmsg->msg)
10			{
11				case WM_MOVE:
12				...
13			}	
14		}
15	}
