getch() function include files

[divined]

Hello everybody

I`ve tried compiling some old code I`d written using an old Borland C++ compiler under Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 sp6. That code uses the getch() console function heavily. I`ve included <conio.h> in the program source files but the linker complains that the function cannot be found.

I searched MSDN and I found that the conio.h header file is required. Nonetheless the compiler is still issuing errors? Am I missing something?

Did you real cearfullty the MSDN ?

_getch();

getch and conio.h should do just fine. try to replicate this problem in a new console application and if you manage to do it post the code here.

PS: but as gili pointed out you should use the _getch() version.

ok. I tested it out with the _getch() and it seems to be working. Maybe it was something with some other include files I had in the project. I`ll have to check it again tomorrow at work and get back to you.

thx, a lot
