Bug 1144

Summary: SDL_QUIT Event - Windows
Product: SDL Reporter: Daniel <daniel350>
Component: eventsAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.0   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Windows 7   

Description Daniel 2011-02-22 21:46:33 UTC 
The SDL_QUIT event is never received, ie you cannot close a window by its X button in the top right hand corner.
The window itself can be closed if you handle the event on another input, such as the 'Q' key.

For example:

while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
	switch (event.type) {
		case SDL_QUIT: device.closeDevice(); break;
	}
}

Assuming device has a 'closeDevice' method, which closes the SDL window; this code should close the window upon the SDL_QUIT event, it does not, and is never handled by the switch (ie SDL_QUIT event is never sent).

Have you tried this with the latest SDL snapshot?  This should already be fixed:
