Receiving Data while Typing

[bluevideogame]

On the command line, how do I write the syntax for receiving data actively, while i am inputting text to the other client.
Because when I start typing in cin it won't receive the data until i press enter...

Thanks

Either make the standard input non-blocking (OS specific) or use two threads.

A minimal code example and some information about those errors might help to help you
