Thread: getch statement

I am trying to write a program that takes a single character off the keyboard without having to press the enter key. The getch statement is supposed to do that but it does not. I am using Visual Studio 2008.

As an example:

char input;

Code:

input = getch();

switch (input)
{
     case 'A':
        // Stuffing.
        break;
     case 'B':
        // Stuffing.
        break;
     case 'C':
        // Stuffing.
        break;
}
