_CONSOLEINPUT is blocking

[grymmjack]

I've now also created a cKeyhit that can be used in a console and returns the same keycodes as _KEYHIT 

Code: (Select All)

int32 cKeyhit() {

#ifdef QB64_WINDOWS

    HANDLE hStdin = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);

    INPUT_RECORD irInputRecord;

    DWORD dwEventsRead, fdwMode, dwMode;

    CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO cl_bufinfo;



    GetConsoleMode(hStdin, (LPDWORD)&dwMode);

    fdwMode = ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS;

    SetConsoleMode(hStdin, fdwMode);

    fdwMode = dwMode | ENABLE_WINDOW_INPUT | ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT;

    SetConsoleMode(hStdin, fdwMode);



    DWORD numEvents = 0;

    GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents(hStdin, &numEvents);

    if (numEvents) {

        ReadConsoleInputA(hStdin, &irInputRecord, 1, &dwEventsRead);

        switch (irInputRecord.EventType) {

        case KEY_EVENT:

          if (!irInputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown)

            return 0;

          int32 uc = int(wchar_t(irInputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.UnicodeChar));

if (uc != 0)

return uc;

          switch (irInputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualScanCode) {

case 42: return 100304; // LSHIFT

case 54: return 100303; // RSHIFT

case 29: return 100306; // LCTRL (+RCTRL)

case 56: return 100308; // LALT (+RALT)

case 59: return 15104;  // F1

case 60: return 15360;  // F2

case 61: return 15616;  // F3

case 62: return 15872;  // F4

case 63: return 16128;  // F5

case 64: return 16384;  // F6

case 65: return 16640;  // F7

case 66: return 16896;  // F8

case 67: return 17152;  // F9

case 68: return 17408;  // F10

case 87: return 34048;  // F11

case 88: return 34304;  // F12

case 82: return 20992;  // INSERT

case 83: return 21248;  // DELETE

case 71: return 18176;  // HOME

case 79: return 20224;  // END

case 73: return 18688;  // PAGEUP

case 81: return 20736;  // PAGEDOWN

case 75: return 19200;  // LEFT

case 77: return 19712;  // RIGHT

case 72: return 18432;  // UP

case 80: return 20480;  // DOWN

}

return 256 + irInputRecord.Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualScanCode;

        }

    }

#endif

    return 0;

}

Well done all on finding the issue and fixing!

Question - how would you use your c stuff in QB64? DECLARELIBRARY ?

Could you post an example for us?
