(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is the current stable version. SDL2 was the previous version!)

SDL_TextInputEvent

Keyboard text input event structure (event.text.*)

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_events.h>

Syntax

typedef struct SDL_TextInputEvent
{
    SDL_EventType type; /**< SDL_EVENT_TEXT_INPUT */
    Uint32 reserved;
    Uint64 timestamp;   /**< In nanoseconds, populated using SDL_GetTicksNS() */
    SDL_WindowID windowID; /**< The window with keyboard focus, if any */
    const char *text;   /**< The input text, UTF-8 encoded */
} SDL_TextInputEvent;

Remarks

This event will never be delivered unless text input is enabled by calling SDL_StartTextInput(). Text input is disabled by default!

Version

This struct is available since SDL 3.1.3.
