Locking all keybord keys exept numbers 0-9

[XunTric]

As the thread name says.
How would I lock all keys without the numbers 0-9?

Thanks

howabout, instead of locking everything. just create functionality for 1-9? and nothing else?

Lock? You mean, not recieve them?

Using getch(), you could do something like this:

int c;

for(;;) {
    c = getch();
    if(isdigit(c)) {
        std::cout << c;
        // process number here
    }
}

but getch() isn't standard.

You could just use getline() and ignore anything that isn't isdigit().

Try to imagine someone asking which OS/Compiler.

Nevermind - Which OS/Compiler?

What constitutes "locked" anyway when you have certain keys like alt-tab in windows for choosing other programs - do you want to lock those as well?

Hmm... Yes really. Its a password as you probably understood. I dont want people to be able to just "go out" of it.

Windows XP
Dev-C++

Be careful here - if you go round just locking people out of their machines your software will be regarded as malware. Besides, if they alt-tab, it's just sending focus to another program and yours goes to the background - why would that matter to you.

Nobody elses password input locks the whole machine in the way you seem to be wanting to.

Seems to me all you're really after is all input, and then you apply isdigit() to each input character.
