i need to know how to input something from the keyboard without stopping the program to do so, such as in a game. I need the program to sense whether or not certain keys are being pressed but I don't want the program to stop and ask the user.
 
>> Isnt that DirectX type stuff?

Absolutely correct.

Newprogramer, it sounds as though you're trying to write a console or text-based program. You probably need to get started learning the Windows API.
