[ocamlsdl-devel] Sdlevent problem

[Alex C. <aj...@wr...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Sdlevent to determine whether my app is 'active' and I've run
into a problem I can't figure out. It may be a bug, or I may be a clueless
newbie, but here it is:

From sdlevent.mli:

  (** The available application states *)
  type active_state =
    | MOUSEFOCUS  (** The app has mouse coverage *)
    | INPUTFOCUS  (** The app has input focus *)
    | ACTIVE      (** The application is active *)
  
  *** SNIP ***
  
  type event =
    | ACTIVE          of active_event      (** Application loses/gains visibility *)
    | (*...*)

And the problem:

  # (ACTIVE: active_state);;
  The constructor ACTIVE expects 1 argument(s),
  but is here applied to 0 argument(s)

It seems that ACTIVE is being interpreted as an 'event' rather than an
'active_state'. Could someone please tell me how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Alex
