Key Press - CCS

I have a real time application running on a DSP. I want to call a
function only when a particular key is pressed. How do I do this in
CCS ?
I have tried using getch() but this pops up a dialog box everytime
this line is executed therefore interrupting my program.


Any help will be appreciated.

I've been down this road.  You have two choices:

(a) Spend a month figuring out how to do it within CCS.

(b) Write another task into your application, and use a GPIO pin (better 
yet an interrupt pin if you can) to trigger the function.

I chose (b), and I suggest it if you can get to the hardware.
