wait state until keypressed

in int WINAPI WinMain() how would you keep in a loop until return key is pressed?? want to do something like int x x = 0 while( x==0 ) { if( keypressed = return ) { x=1 } }

Errr... don''t do that, you''ll lock up everything spinning like that. You can poll and sleep, or use key events. Depending on what you are programming (and by winmain I guess not a console app) depends on how you may want to get your keypress. You will want to sink GDI keypress events, or use the DirectX Input API.

But never spin like that in the main execution thread. It''s bad.
