al_get_defaul..._event_source(3alleg5)

✨ al_get_default_menu_event_source ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Allegro 5 API manual (the 3alleg5 section, iykyk) and it's genuinely so short and so slay. let's get into it 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

al_get_default_menu_event_source — the Allegro 5 API function that hands you the default event source for menus ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>

ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE *al_get_default_menu_event_source(void)

like. no arguments. no stress. it just returns a pointer and vibes 🦋

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so basically this function returns the default event source that gets used for menu clicks. that's it. that's the whole thing. 💅

and here's the tea: if a menu was not given its own event source through al_enable_menu_event_source(3alleg5), then that menu is gonna fall back on this default source. so it's the main character fallback, the default queen, the one everybody goes to when nobody claimed them. 👑

no cap, if you're out here wondering where your menu click events are coming from, it's probably this. check it. 🙈
