Re: WaitForSingleObject on Console not working???

How can I know if there is input or not from keyboard in console
application? I want to flush buffer to screen every second.

In Unix, select( ) with stdin and timeout can work well( return timeout
every second ), but in Windows, stdin is NOTSOCK, hence select won't
work.

In Windows, WaitForSingleObject( stdinHandle, 1000 ) will return
"WAIT_OBJECT_0" when waiting for input.

How come the following always goes into "WAIT_OBJECT_0"?

What could I do? Is there any way to use select( ) in Windows with
stdin?

Thanks!

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
 printf("->");
 static HANDLE stdinHandle;
 // Get the IO handles
 // getc(stdin);
 stdinHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
 DWORD rc = WaitForSingleObject(stdinHandle, 1000);

 if( rc == WAIT_TIMEOUT )
 {
   printf("Timeout...");
 }
 else if( rc == WAIT_ABANDONED )
 {
   printf("WAIT_ABANDONED");
 }
 else if( rc == WAIT_OBJECT_0 ) // Always go into this branch, why???
 {
   printf("WAIT_OBJECT_0");
 }
 else if( rc == WAIT_FAILED )
 {
   printf("Error:%d.", GetLastError());
 }

 return 0;
}
