I need to obtain the handle of the window for SDL 2.0.3. I got the suggestion to use info.window after initializing SDL and filling the info variable with data by calling SDL_GetWindowWMInfo(); included in the header file SDL_syswm.h. My compiler (visual studio 2008 professional edition) gives the following error:

226) : error C2039: 'window' : is not a member of 'SDL_SysWMinfo'

1> include\sdl_syswm.h(173) : see declaration of 'SDL_SysWMinfo'

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Nevermind, I needed to use "info.info.win.window". That seems a bit redundant, but whateves.

I'm trying to get smooth movement in my game, right now every couple of seconds the moving square jitters. I'm using C++ with SDL2. I made a very simple project to test different methods so all that's happening is a box moves across the screen. Here's a pastebin of the code http://pastebin.com/7YxxSw0D Here's… >>> More
