Hi,
i hv done following initializaion
WINDOW * mainwin;
if ( (mainwin = initscr ()) == NULL ) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error initialising ncurses.\n");
exit(-1);
}
cbreak ();
noecho ();
keypad(mainwin, TRUE);
This is my main loop.
int ch;
while ((ch = wgetch (this->win)) != KEY_ENTER) {
switch (ch)
{
case KEY_BACKSPACE:
wprintw (this->win, " inside baskspace");
break;
default:
wprintw (this->win, "(%d)%c", ch, ch);
break;
}
refresh ();
}
i am using curses library to handle terminals.
The problem is, in the cureses.h file
#define KEY_BACKSPACE 0407 /* backspace key */
this is what is defined. but when i do a getch i receive value 8.
What is the problem? Is there any other way to do it?
The loop even do not terminate after pressing enter key.
