Hey all,
Is there a function already within ANSI C that waits for character input
until a key is pressed? I know getchar() but, of course, even that waits
for a carriage return before the code moves on...
Thanks

No. Not in ANSI or ISO C. If you're looking for something to deal
with the old "Press the any key" type situation, you'll have to step
outside of ANSI or ISO C.
On winDOS platforms, *most* compilers have these functions in the
*non-standard* conio.h header. *most*, because some compilers won't
have it at all, and some will have it as a part of some other header.
getch();
or
getche(); // if you want to echo the keypress' character equivalent
// to stdout
If you want something more portable, ncurses has similar functions
(also similarly named). Of course, you still wouldn't be dealing
strictly with standard C, as you'd be using an external library.

I'm working on an application (OEM) using C# that utilizes input from a

I can identify the keystrokes and input device by registering for raw input

me the keystrokes and the ability to...

Hi All,
I'm trying to monitor data passed from a USB Barcode scanner but I
can't find any decent code examples of what I need to do, including
any references I need to include.
I know I need to use RegisterRawInputDevices & WM_INPUT but have no
idea where to start.
Any help greatly appreciated.
