Hi
Im writting a program (POCKET PC)with a simple calculator style input
using my own system not the pocket pc keyboard.
the problem I have is if I tap 1 I get 111 or 1111 no matter how fast I tap the screen
is there a way to clear the buffer
not sure if there is a command to clear the buffer or not.
But if I was to do soething like that I`d use something like the follwoing -
WHILE 1=1
a$=INKEY$()
IF a$<>"" PRINT a$;
SHOWSCREEN
WHILE a$<>""
a$=INKEY$()
WEND
WENDNot so much a keyboard buffer clearer, more a wait until there is no more key presses.
Or have the following as a function, then u can just call it to clear the keys etc
// ------------------------------------------------------------- //
// -=# CLEARKEYS #=-
// ------------------------------------------------------------- //
FUNCTION ClearKeys:
WHILE a$<>""
a$=INKEY$()
WEND
ENDFUNCTION // CLEARKEYS
or, if you "tap" the screen, wait for the pen to be released:
WHILE MOUSEAXIS(3); WEND
non of the listed ways worked
So I ended up using MOUSEWAIT
after that the Pocket PC Program worked perfecly
but was no use for the PC
thanks for the Quick reply
