Alternative to INKEY$

Scan codes are byte values.

Since I never ever found one, the first asm programming I did was to make an InputLib...bog-standard mouse and keyboard routines. I have no idea where they are. Not on my comp.

Try:

http://aetherfox.distanthost.com

I KNOW its on the first, but whether that still works is beyond me.

It's crappy, but it works well. It's got documentation.

INP(&H60) is used with keyboard scancodes, not ascii. They are 4 digits long, I made a prog that displays them, but I think its in the QB Help. If not, somebody with half an ass should have put it up on the faq's wiki thing. I'm apparantly not good enuf () to get the password to that, so I can't do it if its not there.

triple post?

[aetherfox]

holy shit, i don't know why that happened. is it too late to delete them now...?

hmmm...I only submitted once, maybe my comp went crazy and read it as three mouse clicks...but there is a phpBB function that gives a time to wait for the next post...happened once in devart...

byte values?

i thought they were 4 digits long...like the arrow keys for example...i havent used them in like 1 year, i can't remember...i

values too. INKEY$ returns a *2* byte result when an arrow key is pressed. One of them is the scan code and the other one is the ascii value (which is 0).

And I think you can delete messages at any time.
