This was added to SDL2 for the Unreal Engine's implementation of menus and dialogs on X11, window types for which SDL3 has added built-in, cross-platform support.
Remove this function, as it was only ever implemented for X11 and is now basically useless aside from allowing annoying or malicious client apps to discretely steal focus. As the documentation states: "You almost certainly want SDL_RaiseWindow() instead of this function."
This allows the numpad to work as the user expects based on the numlock state. If the application needs to distinguish the keys, it can check to see whether the scancode is a numpad key or not.
After discussion with @ocornut, SDL_RenderGeometryRaw() will take floating point colors and conversion from 8-bit color can happen on the application side. We can always add an 8-bit color fast path in the future if we need it on handheld platforms.
If you need code to do this in your application, you can use the following:
int SDL_RenderGeometryRaw8BitColor(SDL_Renderer *renderer, SDL_Texture *texture, const float *xy, int xy_stride, const SDL_Color *color, int color_stride, const float *uv, int uv_stride, int num_vertices, const void *indices, int num_indices, int size_indices)
{
int i, retval, isstack;
const Uint8 *color2 = (const Uint8 *)color;
SDL_FColor *color3;
if (num_vertices <= 0) {
return SDL_InvalidParamError("num_vertices");
}
if (!color) {
return SDL_InvalidParamError("color");
}
color3 = (SDL_FColor *)SDL_small_alloc(SDL_FColor, num_vertices, &isstack);
if (!color3) {
return -1;
}
for (i = 0; i < num_vertices; ++i) {
color3[i].r = color->r / 255.0f;
color3[i].g = color->g / 255.0f;
color3[i].b = color->b / 255.0f;
color3[i].a = color->a / 255.0f;
color2 += color_stride;
color = (const SDL_Color *)color2;
}
retval = SDL_RenderGeometryRaw(renderer, texture, xy, xy_stride, color3, sizeof(*color3), uv, uv_stride, num_vertices, indices, num_indices, size_indices);
SDL_small_free(color3, isstack);
return retval;
}
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/9009
The new function includes the cursor position so IME UI elements can be placed relative to the cursor, as well as having the whole text area available so on-screen keyboards can avoid it.
SDL_StartTextInput(), SDL_StopTextInput(), SDL_TextInputActive(), SDL_ClearComposition(), and SDL_SetTextInputRect() all now take a window parameter.
This change also fixes IME candidate positioning when SDL_SetTextInputRect() is called before SDL_StartTextInput(), as is recommended in the documentation.
