 |
|
I've been told using system(); calls is bad practice, since I'm starting I don't want to develop a bad habit early. Can someone please tell me ways I can accomplish the following without using system(); calls, thanks!
system("TITLE");
system("PAUSE");
system("CLS"); |

SetConsoleTitle()
kbhit()/PeekConsoleInput()
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo()/FillConsoleOutputCharacter()/FillConsoleOutputAttribute()/SetConsoleCursorPosition() |

When I use any of those I get the following error:
| Code: | | error C3861: 'example function': identifier not found |
Do I need to import any other library to use them? |

You need to include <windows.h>, example follows:
| Code: | #include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
SetConsoleTitle("Hello World");
cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
PeekConsoleInput();
return 0;
} |

| btw when you are peeking the console input, you don't want to use it as how samo502 just did. you'd probably loop it, checking the lpNumberOfEventsRead parameter |
