Remarks
SDL_MouseWheelEvent is a member of the SDL_Event union and is used when an event of type SDL_MOUSEWHEEL is reported. You would access it through the event's wheel field.
An SDL_MOUSEWHEEL event occurs whenever a user moves the mouse wheel.
Movements to the right generate negative x values and to the left generate positive x values. Movements down (scroll backward) generate negative y values and up (scroll forward) generate positive y values.
which may be SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID, for events that were generated by a touch input device, and not a real mouse. You might want to ignore such events, if your application already handles SDL_TouchFingerEvent.
