Hi, thanks for your reply. Waitkey will work for kbhit, just wanted to try that dll thing.

As for getch, I want to use it as it doesn't pauses the loop and I don't know which key the user will press, but I need to know afterwards.

I wrote following .decls:

.lib "msvcrt.dll"
getch#():"_getch"

and for code:


While Not KeyHit (1)
	WaitKey()
	result=getch()
	DebugLog result
Wend

but still not returning valid value (geting -2147483648) . Is there something else I am missing?

Thanks
