# IDCMP — IntuiMessage Classes
## Overview
**IDCMP** (Intuition Direct Communication Message Ports) is the mechanism by which Intuition delivers input events to windows. Each window has a `UserPort` (MsgPort) where `IntuiMessage` structures are queued.
---
## struct IntuiMessage
```c
/* intuition/intuition.h — NDK39 */
struct IntuiMessage {
struct Message ExecMessage;
ULONG Class; /* IDCMP_* class */
UWORD Code; /* class-specific code */
UWORD Qualifier; /* key/mouse qualifiers */
APTR IAddress; /* class-specific address (e.g. gadget) */
WORD MouseX; /* mouse X relative to window */
WORD MouseY; /* mouse Y relative to window */
ULONG Seconds; /* timestamp seconds */
ULONG Micros; /* timestamp microseconds */
struct Window *IDCMPWindow; /* window that received this */
struct IntuiMessage *SpecialLink;
};
```
