keyboard buffer 1

[delphidestructor]

Can anyone tell me a quick and easy way to flush the keyboard buffer without having to make a low level call or calling a dll. I am prompting with a, recursively called, yes - no message box and I do not want the user to be able to accidentally hit the space bar or enter twice. I want to flush the keyboard input just before the prompt is called for, so input would only be accepted after the message box is visible. Thanks for any help. Mike

If you're using another form for this prompt, then just before displaying the form, clear out whatever is in the fields.

Private Sub Form_Activate()
DoEvents
Text1.Text = ""
End Sub

The DoEvents will take the data in the keyboard, load it into the field, you'll erase the field and then the form will be displayed.
