_CONSOLEINPUT is blocking

[mdijkens]

_CONSOLEINPUT is like _MOUSEINPUT, it just shows if new input is available and returns 1 for new keyboard input and 2 for new mouse input, however to retrieve the keyboard input use _CINP and for mouse the respective _MOUSExxx functions. _CONSOLEINPUT blocks until the actual input is retrieved, see example on the _CONSOLEINPUT and _CINP wiki pages.

Yes, I know, but the point is that it is blocking

Code: (Select All)

Do

  _Limit 10

  x%% = _ConsoleInput

  If x%% = 1 Then

    k& = _CInp

    Print k&;

  Else

    k& = 0

    Print "-";

  End If

Loop

Here I would expect to see --------------------------- all the time except when pressing keys
