Re: realtime display

i think i can trapped the keystroke but i'm having a problem since the trapping required a static PROMPT or INPUT while my display need to be automatically refresh. basically i'm looking for a workable solution to implement a WHILE loop (to refresh the display) and at the same time be able to trap the keystroke. here's my list of requirements: - refreshing display - trapping keystroke - applied time out (but how) if no keystroke is detected regards --- Dennis Pimple <dennisp@informix.com> wrote: > The short answer is that the only "good" key you can > capture for your needs > is the interrupt, so if that's out you're out of > luck. > > I4GL version 7.3 has a new function fgl_getkey(), > that may suit your needs > (I don't know if it tracks keystrokes made when the > program is not in any of > the input modes). > > -- > ======================================================= > Dennis J.
