kbhit() and getch() Equivalent..

ThLstN · 03-11-2008, 12:39 AM

I'm trying to create a control function for my program that can simulate the kbhit() and getch() combination, it should be using standard C and windows API without using any external libraries. Can anyone give me suggestions how to do this?

I tried using GetAsyncKeyState() and ReadConsoleInput() but it doesn't work like exactly as I want them.

Because it is windows specific - It should be in Windows forum

You should post your code, explain what it does and how it is different from what you expect
