polling streams

[Bob Smith]

Hi all
I need a way to poll the input standard stream if there is data to read
from it. Is there any way ( standard )to do this?
thank you for any help, much appreciated.

There is no standard way. You will need to find a newsgroup particular
to your operating system.[color=blue]

oh no, seems so basic.
Is there somekind of "workaround ", I just need to poll and read a set of
event objects from the cin, but I want the gui to work while reading.
as for now the gui hangs, ( no surprise ) while the read object attempts
to read. could this be done in another way perhaps?
any ideas and help much appreciated

That's not right. There is a way: std::cin.rdbuf( )->in_avail()

I stand corrected. Here I have been using select all this time...

Sort of. You can see if there is any more data buffered using:

is.rdbuf()->in_avail();

If that's not enough, you're going to need platform specific functions
like select or WaitFor*.
