Reading ctrl-c's without crashing program

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Hi, I need to make OidZone not drop to dos on a ctrl-C.  I've been doing
get_keys() for the regular keyboard, And Jacques's keypad() thing for the
ctrl,alt,shift keys.  ctrl-C kills get_key().

I tried using Jacques GetScanCode() but it doesn't work on 2 of my 3
machines. (both dx2-66's) works fine on my p166. His keytest.ex also
doesn't work on those machines, It correctly shows the shift ctrl and alt
keys, but not any other key, and I can't get out of it without
rebooting!

I looked at Dave Cuny's keys.e, but he's looking at the mouse and a bunch
of other stuff I don't need along with the keyboard, and it's way too slow
to check things I don't need. I need something lightning quick that will
read the scan codes or whatever that works on all machines.  I can't have
even one extra if doing something I don't absolutely need.

I need something that gives me a number that doesn't change with the
shift,alt or ctrl, or crash on a crtl-c.

I need this yesterday, so if any of you can help, it would
be...um...helpful.  Thanx.
