How to make a time limit on character input in C++?

Question

C++ / C#

The question arose: how to give the user the nth amount of time to enter, after which the input request stops and the code continues to be executed?

There is a not quite standard facility available in visual studio - _kbhit()

Answer 2

It is impossible to do this with standard C++ tools. Read MSDN about manual input processing from the console.
