Control key with Ncurses

[Vidya Kotamraju <vidyakr@darya.nio.org>]

Hi all,

I am writing a graphics-based application in Linux by making use of C 
and ncurses library.
The application needs that i take two numbers as input ( i make use of 
scanw for the same).
However at this point in the program i want the user to obtain the 
flexibility of exiting gracefully from the program(by pressing a cntrl 
key,like say F5).

Cntrl-D doesnt seem to work with ncurses..

Heres a snippet of the code.....



/*FORM INITIALIZATION*/

my_form = new_form(field);
post_form(my_form);
refresh();

mvprintw(1,8,"NOTE:THE ROW AND COLUMN ARE AS DEFINED IN MATRIXALGEBRA");
mvprintw(2,8,"Enter the row and column coordinates(i and j values):");

mvprintw(3,8,"i and j: ");
scanw("%d %d",&i,&j);

// at this point i want to exit from the program if F5 key is pressed.



Any pointers ?

Regards,
Vidya
