Ncurses backspace problem

[Amiplus]

Hello,

i'm having problem with Ncurses and backspace.

In an input loop, while space cancel a char, backspace doesn't.

if (ch == '\b' || ch == KEY_BACKSPACE) {
            getyx(win, curY, curX);
            if (wmove(win, curY, curX - 1) != ERR) {
                wdelch(win);
            }
        }

What's the problem?

I think you need to call keypad(stdscr, true).

Thank you.

It's already set to true

What is the type of ch? It should be int.
