kbhit()

hi

every time i try to use kbhit()
i get an EAccessViolation
whats wrong with it?

Its undefined and should not be used.....

aha.
and what else should be used?

i´m checking out your kb-hooking tutorial on your hp. maby the use of a dll may be the right thing i´m looking for.

is there a simple way to check key-entry on win32?

ps.: by the way... i found a t-shirt with the same cool transformers-sign in a store:-))))

LOL :p

stop lol´ing around in my tread:D

can´t get your kbhit function running.

allways have a error in ReadConsoleInput(hIn,&ip,1,&dwResult)
error 6 (with GetLastError)... whatever that wants to tell me

looked at msdn, but the code looks allright.
there must be something i have forgotten.

ok. it wants to tell me that the handle is invalid.
what i have made is...

Code:

---

HANDLE hIn ;
DWORD dwResult;
INPUT_RECORD ip;


void __fastcall TForm1::Timer1Timer(TObject *Sender)
{

hIn = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);

  if (hIn==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
      Edit1->Text="invalid...";

  if(!ReadConsoleInput(hIn,&ip,1,&dwResult))
      Edit1->Text=GetLastError();//Get event

  if(ip.EventType == KEY_EVENT)//Is it keyboard?
      Edit1->Text="gnuf";
}

what can i do to get the "gnuf" in my edit-box??

Hmm...you are running this as a console right?

if console means a win-application... (this funny windows on my screen:) )... yes.
excuse my disknowledge.

A console is the dos emulator.........the black char based screen that uses int main(void).......

If you are doing this in a full blown windows app than it wont work

oh. i should have known this.

no. i´m not running this as a console.

If this is a window program....you need to filter the WM_KEYDOWN or WM_KEYUP.....

aha

i´ll work on it tomorrow.

thanx
