Is an example of how to do what you are asking. SDL lets you get all the
window manager events, even the ones you don't want. By using
SDL_EventState(SDL_SYSWMEVENT, SDL_ENABLE); to enable them. After that,
you just handle the normal Windows events to do what you want. Take a
look at scrap for a working example.
