For a console application I want to issue a prompt:
"Press any key to continue ..."
or
"Press 'X' to exit or 'C' to continue:"
and then wait for the user to press a key.
I can find no equivalent for the Basic "inkey" function. I have tried
using wait/read but it seems one must press the "enter" key.
Private Function InKey(Prompt As String) As Byte
Dim n As Byte
If Prompt <> "" Then Print Prompt
n = 0
While n = 0
Wait 0.01
' n = Read As Byte
n = Read 1
Wend
Return n
End
Suggestions ?
