INKEY$ Cannot Input Bytes for CTRL-BREAK Keystroke (31571)






This article was previously published under Q31571

SUMMARY

The manuals below incorrectly state that a stand-alone program compiled without the /d (debug) option can read a CTRL-BREAK keystroke with the INKEY$ function. The INKEY$ function does not return bytes for CTRL-BREAK under any circumstances. The incorrect sentence in the manual should be deleted.

This correction applies to the INKEY$ function documentation in the following reference manuals:

  1. Page 298 of the "Microsoft QuickBasic Compiler" Versions 2.x and 3.00 manual
  2. Page 218 of the "Microsoft QuickBasic 4.00: Basic Language Reference"
  3. Page 218 of "Microsoft Basic Compiler Version 6.00 for MS OS/2 and MS-DOS: Basic Language Reference"
