Function inkeycdv - get a key, any alphabetics
capitalized, DESQview aware
Syntax int inkeycdv(boolean wait);
Prototype in keyboard.h
Remarks inkeycdv returns the key code of the key pressed.
If no key was pressed (WAIT = FALSE) 0 is returned.
Any letters detected are capitalized before being
returned. This function is similar to getchar()
except input is not echoed to the screen and inkeyc
will detect any key press (any standard keypress.
It cannot distinguish between the grey '+' key and
the white '+'. This function is interrupt driven.
It will detect ALT combinations, Del, PgUp,
function keys, etc., any keyboard INTerrupt
accepted keys.)
When running under DESQview, inkeydv() will free up
time slices while waiting for a keypress. DESQview
is detected by the variable _dvmajor not equal to
zero. DESQversion() should be invoked sometime
before using inkeydv().
Return value returns the key code of the key pressed, from 1 to
511, all letters are capitalized. If WAIT = FALSE,
and no key is pressed, zero is returned.
