Thread: Re: [Dev-C++] Windows Non-MFC programming site

Hi everybody,

I also encountered problems searching for non-MFC API related sites. I
decided then to create personal pages including those sites so everyone
can have a look to them and learn.

If you are interested then I suggest you to visit

Cheers,

Hi everyone.

I wrote a function using dev c that overloads the insertion operator for a
class. I used the getch() function within this function and everything
worked fine.

However, when I took this code to college the next day and compiled it under
MS Vusual C++ it caused all sorts of problems. My lecturer said this was to
do with getch using different buffers that cin.

Is there a way to make sure that getch will work with cin on all compilers?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

No, since getch() is not part of ANSI C++. Also it is not even part of ANSI
C, so any program using getch() is not considered portable.
