Keys in console..

[Zeralon]

Hi.

Just one question.

In a console application, are there any way it can detect keypresses? For example, if someone press the down arrow key and I want something special to happen when it is pressed, do it exist any code like:

case keydown or something?

Sorry for my bad english..

here you, just include the header file if you want the values for the special keys, like f1-f9, and control + key

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    int i;
    i=getch();
    printf("%d",i); //print out what key they pressed
                if(i==224)
                   printf("you pressed the up key!\n");
} 

they don't have to press enter

hope that helps
