The Windows Phone 8.1 'MessageDialog' API only seems to support two buttons,
despite the documentation for such mentioning support for three. Trying to use
three or more buttons leads to an exception being thrown. As such, any attempt
to use more than two buttons via SDL_ShowMessageBox (on Windows Phone 8.1) will
lead to no message box getting shown, and the call returning an error.
The Win32 MessageBox and dialog APIs are not available in WinRT apps, to note.
More extensive message dialog support might be available at some point, if and
when XAML support is more fully fleshed-out. I'm not certain of this, though.
When a Windows Phone 8.0 app was rotated to anything but Portrait mode, touch
input coordinates, as well as virtual mouse coordinates, were usually getting
reported as coming from the wrong part of the screen.
If a Windows Phone 8.1 device was rotated to anything but Portrait mode,
the Direct3D 11 renderer's output wouldn't get aligned correctly with the
screen.
This change removes the "Shared" component from the Windows 8.1 and Windows
Phone 8.1 project files, then renames the projects to use a file structure
that's the same as used for the Windows 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.0 projects.
This change now places WinRT projects in the following directories:
VisualC-WinRT\WinRT81_VS2013\ -- Windows 8.1 project files
VisualC-WinRT\WinPhone81_VS2013\ -- Windows Phone 8.1 project files (NEW, as of this change)
VisualC-WinRT\WinRT80_VS2012\ -- Windows 8.0 project files
VisualC-WinRT\WinPhone80_VS2012\ -- Windows Phone 8.0 project files
Windows 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.0 projects, as well as apps or libs that
reference these, should be unaffected by this change.
Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 based apps or libs that reference SDL's
projects directly will need to have their old references removed, then
replaced with new ones that point to the updated structure.
This is a step towards supporting "Universal" Windows apps, when building for
Windows Phone. SDL can now build against the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK, and apps
linked to it can run, however further work and testing is required as some
previously Phone-only code appears to no longer be applicable for
Windows Phone 8.1. The Windows 8.1 code paths does seem to be preferable, but
should probably be tested and updated on a finer-grained basis.
If in doubt, use the Windows Phone 8.0 projects for now, as located in
VisualC-WinRT/WinPhone80_VS2012/
TODO:
- look at any Windows Phone specific code paths in SDL, and see if Phone 8.1
should use the Windows Phone code path(s), or the Windows 8.x or 8.1 paths
The Win32 APIs, VerifyVersionInfoW and VerSetConditionMask, are not currently
available for use in WinRT apps. This change primarily #if[n]defs-out some
calls to them.
This commit also includes some base-level support for Universal apps.
TODO:
- add support for Windows Phone 8.1
- add support for satellite libs: SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_mixer
Setting the tag type will let libtool work even when it cannot infer
the type of the code being built. One way libtool may fail to infer
the tag type is if one uses a mock compiler (such as for static
analysis).
This allows the joystick hotplug to function without the main event loop
(specifically: without SDL_INIT_VIDEO), and moves explicit polling for
joysticks where it belongs at the low-level: in SDL_SYS_JoystickDetect().
This lets apps call SDL_JoystickUpdate() to get hotplug events and keep
SDL_NumJoysticks() correct, as expected. As SDL_PumpEvents() (and
SDL_PollEvents, etc) calls SDL_JoystickUpdate(), existing apps will function
as before.
Thanks to "raskie" on the forums for pointing this out!
This fixes a bug where we'd offset positions by the height of the dock, if it
was along the bottom of the screen.

Thanks to Alex Szpakowski for bug & patch.
It used to be that SDL_SetWindowPosition was relative to the top of the screen,
which didn't make sense. In addition, borderless windows can be positioned
*below* the menubar, so SDL_SetWindowPosition(win, 0, 0) on a borderless window
would hide ~30ish pixels of the window below the menubar.
This fixes an issue where an empty cliprect is treated the same as a NULL
cliprect, causing the render backends to disable clipping.
Also adds a new API, SDL_RenderIsClipEnabled(render) that allows you to
differentiate between:
- SDL_RenderSetClipRect(render, NULL)
- SDL_Rect r = {0,0,0,0}; SDL_RenderSetClipRect(render, &r);

All WinRT projects have been merged into a single directory, "VisualC-WinRT",
with platform-specific variants in subdirectories off of it. This structure
has been applied to a few major SDL satellite libraries as well (SDL_image,
SDL_mixer, and SDL_ttf).
Currently, only Windows 8.0/RT and Windows Phone 8.0 targets are supported.
Windows 8.1/RT/Phone targets are planned.
Projects that use SDL_image/WinRT, and link to it via Visual Studio's
project-to-project reference system, will need to be updated, to reflect the
changes in the project structure. This can be done by:
1. removing the MSVC project(s) for SDL/WinRT
2. re-added the MSVC project(s) for SDL/WinRT
3. right-clicking on the app, or projects that use those libraries, choosing
References, removing the references to any of these projects (they'll likely
be highlighted with an exclamation mark), then re-adding them
To note, the satellite libraries that reference SDL/WinRT have been updated
already. The changes for those libraries will be pushed to hg.libsdl.org
shortly.
TODO:
- add support for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 targets, using
Microsoft's new "Universal" app support, if possible. These will be added to
a new subdirectory, or subdirectories (if more than one sets of projects are
needed, hopefully not), of "VisualC-WinRT".
- investigate NuGet support, which could allow Visual C++ to download
new copies of SDL/WinRT, its satellite libraries, and their dependencies,
from remote servers.
