using two GetAsyncKeyState a while statement with an or condition

i have tried to make a program terminal when either of the two control keys are hit however the program only seem to terminal when which ever ctrl key is in front of the ||

here is the while statement

Code:

---



    } while (!GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LCONTROL) || (!GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RCONTROL)));

---

is it possible to get this work or is it impossible with the GetAsyncKeyState function

GetAsyncKeyState function (Windows)

Quote:

---

If the function succeeds, the return value specifies whether the key was pressed since the last call to GetAsyncKeyState, and whether the key is currently up or down. If the most significant bit is set, the key is down, and if the least significant bit is set, the key was pressed after the previous call to GetAsyncKeyState. However, you should not rely on this last behavior; for more information, see the Remarks.

---

If the first call returns false, you burned your chance at detecting anything on the second call (which follows almost immediately)

so what do you suggest I do to make this work, so it terminates the while loop on either control key?

Well all I did was read the manual page for the function you called, and copy/pasted it here.
You ought to at least to be able to do that much for yourself (we're not here to read the manual for you).

The next thing to do is look to the left of the manual page you're now looking at, and see the API reference hierarchy.

So start with all the functions in Keyboard Input Functions to see if there is anything better you could use.

If that doesn't work, then read through the overview in Keyboard Input Reference to make sure you understand the general concept.
