Keyboard detection

(OP)

Thanks

RE: Keyboard detection

milosd,

    It depends on what OS you are using. In DOS the functions are _bios_keybrd or bioskey. For Windows the function is keybd_event.

    If you are interested in one of the DOS functions, post a request on this thread and I'll post some more information. If you are looking for the Windows function, your best bet is to go to www.bcbdev.com and look at their FAQ (I think it is #77). They are fairly involved so I won't put the info here unless you request it.
