Registering zero events is an error and will return (Uint32)-1. Calling this function with '''numevents''' <= 0 is an error and will return (Uint32)-1.

SDL_RegisterEvents

Use this function to allocate a set of user-defined events, and return the beginning event number for that set of events.

Syntax

Uint32 SDL_RegisterEvents(int numevents)

Function Parameters

numevents

the number of events to be allocated

Return Value

The beginning event number, or (Uint32)-1 if there are not enough user-defined events left.

Code Examples

Uint32 myEventType = SDL_RegisterEvents(1);
if (myEventType != ((Uint32)-1)) {
    SDL_Event event;
    SDL_memset(&event, 0, sizeof(event)); /* or SDL_zero(event) */
    event.type = myEventType;
    event.user.code = my_event_code;
    event.user.data1 = significant_data;
    event.user.data2 = 0;
    SDL_PushEvent(&event);
}

Remarks

Calling this function with numevents <= 0 is an error and will return (Uint32)-1.
