SDL_GameControllerEventState

Query or change current state of Game Controller events.

Header File

Syntax

int SDL_GameControllerEventState(int state);

Function Parameters

state can be one of SDL_QUERY, SDL_IGNORE, or SDL_ENABLE

Return Value

Returns the same value passed to the function, with exception to -1 (SDL_QUERY), which will return the current state.

Remarks

If controller events are disabled, you must call SDL_GameControllerUpdate() yourself and check the state of the controller when you want controller information.

Any number can be passed to SDL_GameControllerEventState(), but only -1, 0, and 1 will have any effect. Other numbers will just be returned.

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
