Is this for the C language? I didn't think this function was exclusive to any certain OS. Is it not working for you?

I think this is an outdated non-standard function defined in conio.h. I wouldn't use it

There's nothing more than standard input as an alternative. Things like cin and getline. It's not event based though, so the user has to hit the enter key.
