fflush is defined only for output streams. You''ll need to use a system-dependant function to clear an input buffer.

it works for input streams too, but i used that when i was doing dos programming. i''m pretty sure it''s won''t work for win applications

It depends on how you're getting the keyboard buffer

I suspect that bit banging the keyboard interraupt will piss off windows.

or just get everything from the buffer & throw it away

Ditto, here is what I use...

    void InitializeInputDevices(void){	int32		i;	// Do a test call on all the key combos, to reset them	for (i=0; i<256; i++)	{		NewKeyDown(i, Graphics.hWnd);		IsKeyDown(i, Graphics.hWnd);	}}geBoolean IsKeyDown(int KeyCode, HWND hWnd){	if (GetFocus() == hWnd)		if (GetAsyncKeyState(KeyCode) & 0x8000)			return GE_TRUE;	return GE_FALSE;}//=====================================================================================//	NewKeyDown//=====================================================================================geBoolean NewKeyDown(int KeyCode, HWND hWnd){	if (GetFocus() == hWnd)		if (GetAsyncKeyState(KeyCode) & 1)			return GE_TRUE;	return GE_FALSE;}
