(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_DropEvent

An event used to drop text or request a file open by the system (event.drop.*)

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_events.h>

Syntax

typedef struct SDL_DropEvent
{
    SDL_EventType type; /**< ::SDL_EVENT_DROP_BEGIN or ::SDL_EVENT_DROP_FILE or ::SDL_EVENT_DROP_TEXT or ::SDL_EVENT_DROP_COMPLETE or ::SDL_EVENT_DROP_POSITION */
    Uint32 reserved;
    Uint64 timestamp;   /**< In nanoseconds, populated using SDL_GetTicksNS() */
    SDL_WindowID windowID;    /**< The window that was dropped on, if any */
    float x;            /**< X coordinate, relative to window (not on begin) */
    float y;            /**< Y coordinate, relative to window (not on begin) */
    char *source;       /**< The source app that sent this drop event, or NULL if that isn't available */
    char *data;         /**< The text for SDL_EVENT_DROP_TEXT and the file name for SDL_EVENT_DROP_FILE, NULL for other events */
} SDL_DropEvent;

Remarks

The data is owned by SDL and should be copied if the application wants to hold onto it beyond the scope of handling this event. Do not free it!

Version

This struct is available since SDL 3.0.0.
