Waiting for Input, Waiting for # milliseconds, DMA in C++
I need to know how to pause for a second or two, and wait for the user to press "any key" to continue. Also Kedaman maybe after I devote some time to C++ and get all the basics down could you give me an example of DMA?

how did you know i was going to read this thread?  to pause 2 milliseconds you call sleep(2000); and to wait for a key to be pressed buffer the states from getkeyboardstate and compare them. I have some samples of DMA i think you would like

writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

And also I'd like to know how to get the current time, I want to find out how long it took to do something (eg, in vb: )
VB Code:
A = Timer
B = Timer
TimeSec = (B - A) / 1000
How would I do this in C++? I am thinking:
Code:
long int a, b, c;
a == gettime();
// stuff
b == gettime();
c == (b - a) / 1000;
I know GetTime() is probably wrong but is there anything else wrong? IM ON MY 2ND DAY OF C++ PROGRAMMING.

Also what header files do what? I need to know which one sleep(); is in.

Sleep is an API. So you need to include the windows.h header.

gettickcount() gives you milliseconds from start if that's what you need. all win32api's should be available if you include the windows.h file

ALL APIS????
SWEETNESS!!
I'm beginning to C why C++ is an industry standard.
I'm REALLY sorry for the bad joke.

Well, not ALL APIs... just the most common ones.... nearly anything requiring an OCX in VB will require another header(commctrl.h, wsock.h, etc.)

those are not part of win32api either

Well, they are APIs, and he said "ALL APIS????"

Winsock, Common Controls, they're all part of the Win32 API
