Clear Keyboard Buffer

Does anyone have a simple function to clear the keyboard buffer? I
need to make sure and clear any keystrokes before I exit my
application.

Thanks,
Mike

I've got a very large C# forms app and now that its being used in bigger environments we're getting a steady stream of "why does it do this?" problems. The most nagging of which right now is that when a MessageBox.Show() is displayed, if the user hits enter or esc, those keys get passed back to the form. From searching online, this is apparently by design(for whom, I don't know, why its not optional, I _really_ don't know). This...

I've got a loop from within which I make a call to the API function GetAsyncKeystate to see if the Escape key was pressed. If it is, then the exit condition of the loop is met and the program goes on to display a simple messagebox. Unfortunately, the program seems to think the Escape key was meant for this messagebox, even though it appeared *after* the Escape key was pressed(!) and instantly closes the messagebox before you can even see...

Hello All, I'm really looking for a help in reading/writing the keyboard buffer in AIX (IBM Unix). In DOS, there is some memory addres (I remember it as 0x417) from where the keyboard buffer starts. But I need the same in AIX. My requirement is this. In AIX, we need to change the password every 60 days or so. And while changing, it wont accept the previous 4 passwords we used. But when you change to a new one, its difficult to remember the...

I've been trying to use _kbhit() but it didn't do what I thought it would from books, "Detects whether a keypress is available for reading." Herbert Schildt says, "If the user has pressed a key, this function returns true(non-0), but does not read the character. If no keystroke is pending, kbhit() returns false (0)." Here is the test code,
