Mat Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) kk, I'm trying to get a nice Console UDF going based on the initial work here, and then followed up by the work here after the raw reading method was removed from AutoIt. I have the basic function (_ConsoleReadLine) sorted now, and am moving on to some other functions that are useful when trying to make a console app. One of the first I considered was _ConsoleWait, which will mimic the standard "Press any key to continue..." by writing that text to the console and then waiting for user input. I expected using a parameter of 1 for max bytes to read in ReadFile to return as soon as 1 byte of data had been submitted, so wrote the following:Func _ConsoleWait() If Not @Compiled Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) ; Not compiled ConsoleWrite("Press any key to continue...") Local $tBuffer = DllStructCreate("char"), $nRead Local $hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile("CON", 2, 2) _WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer), 1, $nRead) If DllStructGetData($tBuffer, 1) <> @CR Then ConsoleWrite(@CR) _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile) EndFunc ;==>_ConsoleWaitHowever, it only returns from the readfile function once the user has hit enter. The question is this: How would I detect any keypress?I hope this doesn't end up like my last question, which I will no doubt be bumping for the second time at 10:00...Mat Edited January 14, 2010 by Mat AutoIt Project Listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 I knew by complaining in here about it not getting answered someone would answer it! Maybe I'll just have to wait for a while and link to here when I ask my next question! Mat AutoIt Project Listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
