This call clears the keystroke buffer.

Syntax

KbdFlushBuffer (KbdHandle)

Parameters

KbdHandle (HKBD) - input
Default keyboard or the logical keyboard.

Return Code

rc (USHORT) - return
Return code descriptions are:
0 NO_ERROR
439 ERROR_KBD_INVALID_HANDLE
445 ERROR_KBD_FOCUS_REQUIRED
447 ERROR_KBD_KEYBOARD_BUSY
464 ERROR_KBD_DETACHED
504 ERROR_KBD_EXTENDED_SG

Remarks

KbdFlushBuffer completes when the handle has access to the physical keyboard (focus), or is equal to zero and no other handle has the focus.

Family API Considerations

Some options operate differently in the DOS mode than in the OS/2 mode. The KbdHandle is ignored when coding in the DOS mode.
