what is a good code to put in a program that will keep it open even if you type something to the console? nothing i have found works


what is a good way to make a program that closes others that are open? thanks in advance\

p.s im new to c++

cin.get() -- This will freeze the program until you strick the <Enter> key


Closing other applications is tricky, and requires knowledge of the Windows API -- In short, it isn't easy. I have never done such a thing, and do not know the limitations of doing so.

well i think hitting enter is the problem becuase kets say the program asks for your name, then when u type your anme and hit enter it will ru nthroguh all the text that is displayed realy quick and then close. i think making space or another key other than enter to close might work but i dont know how to od that.

since closing programs is difficult i wont try it til i get a better grasp of c++

fseek(stdin,0L,SEEK_END);
cin.get();

Those two lines will forward past everything in the keyboard's buffer and wait for the user to hit <Enter> again, regardless of whether they already have done so before....

ok ill try that, thanks man

hth

it worked, thanks again, u dont know how many people have told me a bunch of crap that doesnt work lol
