    Console Input

    Code:
    HANDLE c;
    c = CreateConsoleScreenBuffer(GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, CONSOLE_TEXTMODE_BUFFER, NULL);
    SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer(c); 
    ..
    ReadConsole(c, gpb, 1, (DWORD *)tmp, NULL)
    ..
    ReadConsole is failing with error code 6, ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, but I can print to the console fine :/

    I don't see why it shouldn't be, considering the fact I CAN WRITE TO IT

    I'm being really really lazy, but can you just run that and see if it works and how that applys with relation to your program.
