Console app w/ multiple threads and console input.
Hi all,
i'm writing a console app that has multiple threads that are kicked off at the start.
In one of the threads i need to monitor the console for input from the user (terminated by an enter or return), but i can't have the other threads blocked.
I also need to have the input from the user available.
I've been looking at: http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/11087_2193301_1
and i can hook the keyboard, and detect when a certain key is pressed, but i can't seem to get the input the user entered.
can someone guide me in the right direction, code would be preferred.
TIA!
