Hello , Fellow Programmers can you please help me with this I was making a networking programm and so wanted to give to the user a sort of a text based control (sort of vi type screen) i.e a upper box where programm gives / sends messages while there is a a single line at bottom for user to enter the commands .. (as in vi we have a ":" down there ) Now the programm is in background also monitoring the UDP socket it has opened with one child and from parent i.e in foreground i wanted to trap the key board .. so while accessing NCURSES API ,i have set "nodelay" (thus non blocking i/o for keyboard )for the parent , thus parent remains in a while(1) loop and keeps on polling for the user i/p's in that 1 line window . Now how can i set cursor as non blinking ?? (i tried curs_set(TRUE)) but no results (any stupidity u think i might have done ??) and is it possible to set a window in Ncurses as to recieve inputs asynchronously ?? Thanking You !
