Disabling input in C# Console until certain task is completed

Question

I\'m working on a little part of my program, handling the input, basically I have this little code:

bool Done = false;
while (!Done)
{
  ConsoleKeyInfo key =         


        

Answer 1

You can not block input, Even if you do not process it, it goes to the keyboard buffer.

You can simply stop getting them out of the buffer though.

Answer 2

Not so sure this make sense, personally I like it when keystrokes don't disappear and I can type ahead. But you can flush the keyboard buffer like this:

while (!Done)
{
    while (Console.KeyAvailable) Console.ReadKey(true);
    ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey(true);
    // etc..
}
