typedef struct{

} SDL_ActiveEvent;

Structure Data

`type`	`SDL_ACTIVEEVENT.`
`gain`	0 if the event is a loss or 1 if it is a gain.
`state`	`SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS` if mouse focus was gained or lost, `SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS` if input focus was gained or lost, or `SDL_APPACTIVE` if the application was iconified (`gain`=0) or restored(`gain`=1).

Description

SDL_ActiveEvent is a member of the SDL_Event union and is used when an event of type SDL_ACTIVEEVENT is reported.

When the mouse leaves or enters the window area a SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS type activation event occurs, if the mouse entered the window then gain will be 1, otherwise gain will be 0. A SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS type activation event occurs when the application loses or gains keyboard focus. This usually occurs when another application is made active. Finally, a SDL_APPACTIVE type event occurs when the application is either minimised/iconified (gain=0) or restored.

Note: This event does not occur when an application window is first created.
