Hi Chris,

Using getch() function you will be able to get the key code. But it will be for only Ascii characters i.e. from 0 to 255. But complex key codes or lets say combination keys like as you say Ctrl+A, are double byte means you will need to call getch() twice to read actual key code. In first read it will give 0 (most probably) and in second getch() it will return another code. Give it a try.


Ummm... this is not strictly correct. Ctrl-@ (I think), Ctrl-A through Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-] are ASCII characters 0-27, they are only single byte characters, not "complex codes".
