Hi everybody,
VPP> I would like to read a character from keyboard as it is
VPP> pressed for my menu system, but I havenät found a way to do
VPP> it, every function that I have found has to wait until enter
VPP> is pressed so send the buffer to my program. If there is a
VPP> way, please tell me.
Try add a line like this in the beginnig of you C++ file:
#include <conio.h>
and use the function you can find there. Just look:
while ( !kbhit() )
{
do_something_very_meaningful();
do_something_even_more_meaningful();
}
The loop will be ended up as soon as a key pressed on the
keyboard.
The only bad news is that conio.h may not be available for some
shells:( I'm not *nix programming expert though, but I guess
conio.h is quite POSIX...
