keyboard input

[MeTarzan]

hi there!
i've got a simple problem. i'm trying to display the ekys pressed on the keyboard to the window using TextOut

i only need WM_CHAR characters.
i've tried using just WM_CHAR which is an integer and wParamr which is an integer too.

i'm guessing there's a simple solution?

thanx!

You could use either DirectInput but that takes a bit of reading. On the other hand, you could try the old Dos way of using _getch().

i've figured it out! (well with help from Jim Geyer!)

for anyone who's interested, Jim's response
"
you could code
char Ch;
later in code :
case WM_CHAR:
Ch = (char) wParam;
"

so using sprintf and TextOut, i've managed to dispaly the character as its typed from the keboard

thanks for suggestions
