Howdy, everyone.

I've got a quick question about getting keyboard input. What I'm trying to do is wait for a user to press a key, then have a method return which key was pressed. I understand it's possible to do so by creating an switch statment with each key, but are there easier options?

Here's what I've tried:

crtdll/_getch
  May be shell based. Always returns -1 in the program.

user32/GetAsyncKeyState
user32/GetKeyState
  It works, but I'm curious to see if there is a method to automaticly return which key was pressed.

Thanks muchly for any info.

I dont understand why you are not satisfied with GetKeyState API? Hook to keyboard on WH_KEYBOARD (or WH_KEYBOARD_LL) message, and all messages will be sent to KeyboardProc.

Thanks again, Goran.

I think I found exactly what I'm looking for. Since I'm monitering all the keys, I think GetKeyboardState will do fine.
