25 * Official documentation for SDL configuration variables

27 * This file contains functions to set and get configuration hints,

30 * The convention for naming hints is SDL_HINT_X, where "SDL_X" is
31 * the environment variable that can be used to override the default.
32 *
33 * In general these hints are just that - they may or may not be
34 * supported or applicable on any given platform, but they provide
35 * a way for an application or user to give the library a hint as
36 * to how they would like the library to work.

1679/** \brief Allows back-button-press events on Windows Phone to be marked as handled
1680 *
1681 * Windows Phone devices typically feature a Back button. When pressed,
1682 * the OS will emit back-button-press events, which apps are expected to
1683 * handle in an appropriate manner. If apps do not explicitly mark these
1684 * events as 'Handled', then the OS will invoke its default behavior for
1685 * unhandled back-button-press events, which on Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 is to
1686 * terminate the app (and attempt to switch to the previous app, or to the
1687 * device's home screen).
1688 *
1689 * Setting the SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON hint to "1" will cause SDL
1690 * to mark back-button-press events as Handled, if and when one is sent to
1691 * the app.
1692 *
1693 * Internally, Windows Phone sends back button events as parameters to
1694 * special back-button-press callback functions. Apps that need to respond
1695 * to back-button-press events are expected to register one or more
1696 * callback functions for such, shortly after being launched (during the
1697 * app's initialization phase). After the back button is pressed, the OS
1698 * will invoke these callbacks. If the app's callback(s) do not explicitly
1699 * mark the event as handled by the time they return, or if the app never
1700 * registers one of these callback, the OS will consider the event
1701 * un-handled, and it will apply its default back button behavior (terminate
1702 * the app).
1703 *
1704 * SDL registers its own back-button-press callback with the Windows Phone
1705 * OS. This callback will emit a pair of SDL key-press events (SDL_KEYDOWN
1706 * and SDL_KEYUP), each with a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK, after which
1707 * it will check the contents of the hint, SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON.
1708 * If the hint's value is set to "1", the back button event's Handled
1709 * property will get set to 'true'. If the hint's value is set to something
1710 * else, or if it is unset, SDL will leave the event's Handled property
1711 * alone. (By default, the OS sets this property to 'false', to note.)
1712 *
1713 * SDL apps can either set SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON well before a
1714 * back button is pressed, or can set it in direct-response to a back button
1715 * being pressed.
1716 *
1717 * In order to get notified when a back button is pressed, SDL apps should
1718 * register a callback function with SDL_AddEventWatch(), and have it listen
1719 * for SDL_KEYDOWN events that have a scancode of SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK.
1720 * (Alternatively, SDL_KEYUP events can be listened-for. Listening for
1721 * either event type is suitable.) Any value of SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON
1722 * set by such a callback, will be applied to the OS' current
1723 * back-button-press event.
1724 *
1725 * More details on back button behavior in Windows Phone apps can be found
1726 * at the following page, on Microsoft's developer site:
1727 * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj247550(v=vs.105).aspx
