'esc' key ?????????

  Hi,

  not sure how your program works exactly, but see if you find the following piece of code helpful:

  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
  Console.WriteLine("Waiting for escape key...");
  while (true)
  {
  ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey();
  if (key.Key == ConsoleKey.Escape)
  {
  break;
  }
  }
  }

  Yes, that's possible, by key interception. Try the following code:

  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
      Console.WriteLine("Type your password and press ENTER...");
      StringBuilder passwordBuilder = new StringBuilder();
      while (true)
      {
          ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey(true);
          if (key.Key == ConsoleKey.Enter)
          {
              Console.WriteLine("\r\nYour password: " + passwordBuilder.ToString());
              Console.ReadKey();
              break;
          }
          passwordBuilder.Append(key.KeyChar);
          Console.Write("*");
      }
  }

  the last one would be a better solution than checking the actual key code value :-) It's better to do it the .NET way

  no offense V.Tortola ! :-)

  It could be TexBox but In need to use it in the command line (console)!!!

  In a TextBox, config the PasswordChar to a asterisk ;)

  thank you...

  this is the code that i'm going to use:

  Console.WriteLine("\t\tPress Esc to exit or ENTER to continue");

  ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey();

  if (key.Key == ConsoleKey.Escape)

  Environment.Exit(-1);

  once again thank's..

  In the key press event of the main form ...

  private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyChar == (char)27) Application.Exit(); }

   

  Regards.
