Remarks

SDL_MouseMotionEvent is a member of the SDL_Event union and is used when an event of type SDL_MOUSEMOTION is reported. You would access it through the event's motion field.

An SDL_MOUSEMOTION event occurs whenever a user moves the mouse within the application window or when SDL_WarpMouseInWindow() is called.

state is a 32-bit button bitmask of the current button state and is the same as that returned by SDL_GetMouseState(). You can test different buttons by using the following masks:

SDL_BUTTON_LMASK

SDL_BUTTON_MMASK

SDL_BUTTON_RMASK

SDL_BUTTON_X1MASK

SDL_BUTTON_X2MASK

which may be SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID, for events that were generated by a touch input device, and not a real mouse. You might want to ignore such events, if your application already handles SDL_TouchFingerEvent.

Relative motion is stored in xrel and yrel and is relative to the last motion event. If relative mouse mode is enabled with SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode(), then the mouse will give relative motion events even when the cursor reaches the edge of the screen.
