SDL_GamepadDeviceEvent

Gamepad device event structure (event.gdevice.*)

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_events.h>

Syntax

typedef struct SDL_GamepadDeviceEvent
{
    SDL_EventType type; /**< SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_ADDED, SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_REMOVED, or SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_REMAPPED, SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_UPDATE_COMPLETE or SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_STEAM_HANDLE_UPDATED */
    Uint32 reserved;
    Uint64 timestamp;   /**< In nanoseconds, populated using SDL_GetTicksNS() */
    SDL_JoystickID which;       /**< The joystick instance id */
} SDL_GamepadDeviceEvent;

Remarks

Joysticks that are supported gamepads receive both an SDL_JoyDeviceEvent and an SDL_GamepadDeviceEvent.

SDL will send GAMEPAD_ADDED events for joysticks that are already plugged in during SDL_Init() and are recognized as gamepads. It will also send events for joysticks that get gamepad mappings at runtime.

Version

This struct is available since SDL 3.2.0.
