simulate getch()

hello everyone:
I want to programming c++ with asm to simulate the getch().
getch() is included in <conio.h>, it's function is to get a
character from keyboard, but not echo.
my code as follow:
char my_getch()
{
char chr;
_asm
{
mov ah, 07H
INT 21H
mov chr, al
}
return chr;
}

but cannot pass the compiler. my complier is CL 7.1.

To pause use system("PAUSE") ; and #include <stdlib.h> or cstdlib

Also try getchar(); instead of getch() and #include <stdio.h>

Hi, I have the following problem: I use "getch" to monitor keypresses and the I use "cin" to input a string. When I type in 'y', the 'y' character appears, so I need to hit backspace before typing the string. c = getch(); cin >> str;

getch() function is not a standard C/C++ function. Thought gcc provieds ncurses.h and a getch() function is realized, I still want to know how to realize a getch() function in standard c or c++.

Howdy, What would be the equivalent of getch() using iostream? My current code is: cout << "\nPress <Enter> to continue..."; getch(); but <conio.h> is not kosher for the C++ class.

Is there any way to make cin behave like getch()? Specifically, getch() returns immediately after a key is pressed and the cin family of input methods seem to block until a new line is encountered. I need some help.

My doubt is on the working of getch() function based on the following observations 1) if the pressed key has an ascii code,only that can be read using a single call to getch() 2) if the key has not an ascii code then the first call to getch() returns a zero and ,if we made a second call, it will return the scan code with out an additional key...

What seems to happen is that kbhit say some keys are...

Hi there, I am using a POSIX-compliant system, Cygwin on Windows. I need the features of conio.h's getch() and clrscr(), but I can't compile programs with #include <conio.h(since conio.h is NOT POSIX). I tried to implement myself clrscr() with system("cls"), but the program compiles ok, but during the running it will show: sh: cls:...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
