get the key stroke in Win32 Console Project

hi,
i am doing a simple win32 console program that whenever press a key on the keyboard the program will get the char pressed by the user. I have tried cin, and getchar, but both of them will need to press enter to continue the program, it there anyway to trigger the function whenever a key is pressed??

Cheers

Have a look in the FAQ - or search the Forum. This question comes up in one form or another every couple of weeks or so.

there's getch() too. Or, you could call GetAsyncKeyState to check if a button is down, right after kbhit is freed.
... are you at all related to maxorator?

just turn it in to a win32 project and use WM_CHAR in the switch msg loop ,
and to get a console up use AllocateConsole , WrtieConsole

And when you go to work, I suppose you climb out the window, up on the roof and down the other side, because that's better than going out the front door? ;)

hey guys
for GetAsyncKeyState() can't we use GetKeyState() ?????
thanks

I expect there will be little difference, but MSDN says this about GetKeyState:

The key status returned from this function changes as a thread reads key messages from its message queue. The status does not reflect the interrupt-level state associated with the hardware. Use the GetAsyncKeyState function to retrieve that information.
