Cin stops everything the program is doing until something is input and enter is pressed. Is there an equivalent command that will not pause the program but still output keyboard data to a variable?

You need to make your own unless you use a DirectX Gui Widget, I think you need to treat it like any other animation... in that during a loop, you check the key, respond to things like backspace etc. Render the "input box" how it should be, and sync etc.

I don't know of an easier way if you want other things to still be happening - e.g. a fancy animated menu asking a user name while all the animation is occuring "behind" input box.

What I have done in the past,not knowing what you want to keep running, I have made the input a function and used a key press to get to the input that you want.
