Does somebody know how to emulate the functionality of the Ungetc()
function in C.

Thank's
David

That function is not supported in Windows. But you can use PeekMessage
to look ahead in the message queue.

It depends on why you need ungetc. The ungetc function returns a
character to an input buffer. Delphi I/O is unbuffered. (See rant in
earlier thread...) If you are using a stream for input, you can seek
backward one byte:
    Stream.Position := Stream.Position - 1;
or
    Stream.Seek(-1, soFromCurrent);
If you are using some other file I/O mechanism, use the appropriate
seek function.

If you want to try to push back a different character from what you
read earlier, then you need to implement your own buffer. You can
derive your own stream class to implement this functionality.
