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 ?
