InputScreenBuffer getting up arrow input from nowhere, how?
for some reason my screen buffer keeps recieving input that someone hit the up key. Um. Its not helping my program. Anyone know the reason? It doesn't get it every time, but because of the loop I use it happens a bunch a times, and it always happens the first time around. Also, can anyone explain what FlushConsoleInputBuffer does?

This isn''t helping much, post some code and wait. It''s not that we are pressing F5 all the time to check for new posts.
Show your code, and what it''s suppose to do and it''ll be fine.

well here it is...
int NPlay() { // begin NPlay function
int check = 0;
int Stop = 0; // will be used for the exit loop for the while statement
cout<<"Please enter the number of players, if the number is single digit please enter in a 0 first, and must be higher than one";
while(Stop == 0) { // starts loop to get input
ReadConsoleInput(iHandle, &input, 2, &info); // looks for input using input handle, saves all input info to input variable, 1 represents the number of input we get and info keeps the DWORD variable happy
if(input.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) { // checks to see if a key was pressed down
Players = INTReturn((char)input.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar); // looks for what character was entered
while(Players < 0) { //checks to make sure the number entered was allowable
Players = INTReturn(Again()); // loops until aloud number is entered
}
pos.Y++; // lowers Y by one for next line
SetConsoleCursorPosition(oHandle, pos); //resets cursor positon
cout<<"Please enter the second digit... "<
while(Stop == 0) {
ReadConsoleInput(iHandle, &input, 1, &info); // looks for input and will take if true
if(input.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) { // checks for a pressed key
check = INTReturn((char)input.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar);
while(check < 0) {
check = INTReturn(Again());
}
Players = (10 * Players) + check; //makes first number entered the first digit and then adds second number
}
Stop = 1; // ends all loops
}
}
}
return Players; // returns how many players
}
then this also includes
char Again() {
char Fix = '' '';
pos.Y++;
SetConsoleCursorPosition(oHandle,pos);
cout<<"Please re enter the last number but please check what is aloud then re enter the number.";
while(Fix == '' '') {
ReadConsoleInput(iHandle, &input, 1, &info);
if(input.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) {
Fix = (char)input.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar;
}
}
return Fix;
}
and just know that INTReturn is a function I made to change the characters I get into integers
int NPlay() { // begin NPlay function
int check = 0;
int Stop = 0; // will be used for the exit loop for the while statement
cout<<"Please enter the number of players, if the number is single digit please enter in a 0 first, and must be higher than one";
while(Stop == 0) { // starts loop to get input
ReadConsoleInput(iHandle, &input, 2, &info); // looks for input using input handle, saves all input info to input variable, 1 represents the number of input we get and info keeps the DWORD variable happy
if(input.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) { // checks to see if a key was pressed down
Players = INTReturn((char)input.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar); // looks for what character was entered
while(Players < 0) { //checks to make sure the number entered was allowable
Players = INTReturn(Again()); // loops until aloud number is entered
}
pos.Y++; // lowers Y by one for next line
SetConsoleCursorPosition(oHandle, pos); //resets cursor positon
cout<<"Please enter the second digit... "<
while(Stop == 0) {
ReadConsoleInput(iHandle, &input, 1, &info); // looks for input and will take if true
if(input.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) { // checks for a pressed key
check = INTReturn((char)input.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar);
while(check < 0) {
check = INTReturn(Again());
}
Players = (10 * Players) + check; //makes first number entered the first digit and then adds second number
}
Stop = 1; // ends all loops
}
}
}
return Players; // returns how many players
}

if(input.Event.KeyEvent.bKeyDown) {
Fix = (char)input.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar;
}
}
return Fix;
}

well I fixed it. I just had to change the if statement that checked for key input so that it also made sure the Ascii code said it was a number. But then I had a problem with it getting the number I pressed twice. but I fixed THAT with a sleep for 100 then clearing the buffer. If anyone else gets this problem. Thats the fix I used.
