Hello,
I've noticed that a lot of text-based programs allow you to use the arrow keys to move up and down a list of options. The currently selected option would be highlighted, ie, the text background would be white, and the foreground black, instead of the other way around as usual.
How would I go about printing highlighted text in C? Thanks.
You would need to make use of an console library to do this. A popular one is ncurses. ncurses only works on Linux/Unix, so if you are using Windows, you would need something else.

Or you could write for ncurses, and use an implementation of ncurses on Windows, such as PDCurses. (One of many, google "windows ncurses" for more...)

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

Lol, yeah, I probably should've said that I'm working under Windows.
In any case, I've found out how to do this. The MSDN library has a bunch of useful stuff listed. Functions like SetConsoleTextAttribute() are exactly what I'm looking for. Apparently everything I need is in windows.h. Thanks.
