Thomas,

I use wgetch to read a character from the window.. when the user don't write( within xx sec) I should to perform an automatic window refresh that include also clock update steps.

hmm - which library call?  From the context it sounds as if you are
talking about getch().  But getch() is reading from input which has
been set to read in raw (or noncooked) mode.  Whether you use select,
getch() or whatever, the operating system of course decides when you can
have the character...
