My initial attempt to get around this is to tie KeyPressed to EventHandleThread as well.

I think there's a more elegant solution waiting to be discovered :-) Yes, a quick fix can be made by replacing the ReadConsoleInput() in winevent.pp by a PeekConsoleInput() call and crt works again. Maybe this was even intended by the original developer since there is a read, but don't remove the event comment in front of the offending line (although it uses the ReadConsoleInput() call which actually removes the event). Already sent this patch to a developer a two days ago (or so). But may have undesirable side effects if no one else is eating the console events (not sure if this is actually possible, that means a problem, in console programs).

Seems like we are working on the same things atm =) Which part do you concetrate on, Thomas? Is your work related to unit Crt (which could/should become cross-platform in its majority), or are you rather fixing implementation of console (API) units (keyboard, mouse, video) for Windows (which includes winevent)? These two don't need to interfere, IMHO (so there definitely can be enough space for both of you ;-) ). Tomas -- Akcni unorova nabidka 3 za cenu 1!

Hello, But may have undesirable side effects if no one else is eating the console events (not sure if this is actually possible, that means a problem, in console programs). More testing showed that this is a problem after all. So don't apply it. The IDE does not seem to mind though from a short try afair.

Tomas Hajny wrote: The main problem is that there's a lot platform independent functionality in Crt unit which is re-implemented for every platform again and again. The best solution would be to throw all the individual implementations away completely and implement cross-platform Crt unit based on capabilities provided by units Keyboard and Video (possibly missing functionalities within these units necessary for Crt could be either handled by platform specific include file, or by extending current Keyboard and/or Video). From the discussion I have the impression that there exist problems in separating keyboard and mouse events. If I'm right here, then I'd suggest to separate platforms with separate mouse and keyboard events from platforms with common events for both devices. The platform independent implementation then should assume and use separate queues, as provided (separated if required) by the platform specific code.
