    SDL_WindowID windowID; /**< The window with mouse focus, if any */
    SDL_MouseID which;  /**< The mouse instance id, SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID, or SDL_PEN_MOUSEID */
    float x;            /**< The amount scrolled horizontally, positive to the right and negative to the left */
    float y;            /**< The amount scrolled vertically, positive away from the user and negative toward the user */
    SDL_MouseWheelDirection direction; /**< Set to one of the SDL_MOUSEWHEEL_* defines. When FLIPPED the values in X and Y will be opposite. Multiply by -1 to change them back */
    float mouse_x;      /**< X coordinate, relative to window */
