# SDL_PenID SDL pen instance IDs. ## Header File Defined in [](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_pen.h) ## Syntax ```c typedef Uint32 SDL_PenID; ``` ## Remarks Zero is used to signify an invalid/null device. These show up in pen events when SDL sees input from them. They remain consistent as long as SDL can recognize a tool to be the same pen; but if a pen physically leaves the area and returns, it might get a new ID. ## Version This datatype is available since SDL 3.2.0. ---- [CategoryAPI](CategoryAPI), [CategoryAPIDatatype](CategoryAPIDatatype), [CategoryPen](CategoryPen)
