getting the mouse wheel in SDL?
September 12, 2004 04:38 AM
hi,
pretty simple question. does anyone know how to detect a mouse wheel up / down event? id like to know how to get it directly if thats possible, ie not while polling for input. cant find any info for this on the docs, im not sure if it even exist's. thanks for any help.

Hiya, you will use the SDL_MouseButtonEvent. In addition to the
SDL_BUTTON_LEFT, SDL_BUTTON_MIDDLE, SDL_BUTTON_RIGHT
flags you can also use
SDL_BUTTON_WHEELUP, SDL_BUTTON_WHEELDOWN
Hope that helps.

thanks... but it seems like i have to do this in the polling for input. is there anyway to grab if they have been pressed directly? thanks

If you're just wanting to inspect the current state of the buttons, that's a different concept to events, which signal changes of state.

Try looking for buttons 4 and 5, perhaps.
