Thread: Array of pointers little help :S

See the attached picture and help me to make that damn algorithm I do not know how to type it in C.

Code:

char *m[] = {"data", "come", "here"};

p = position = 0

how to access that "data" and "come" i have lib for they color if I click right arrow background color of come must be become like green but i dont know how to access them...


Thanks in advanced!

I do not understand this sentence. May you reiterate it?

OK I will try with code:

I have to make APP like Turbo Pascal I draw menus and everything. To make some selection i have to REcolor the menu if you navigate in any menu you see that selected one is becoming dark blue or other color so i need to do the same thing. If my user push RIGHT ARROW need to make "data" back to normal color and "comes" blue so i am making it with this:

Code:

mainchInfo[i].Attributes = BACKGROUND_RED;

where "i" is the position on my desktop
if i = 0 i = "d" if i =1 = "a" .... etc

so how when i press right arrow to change the color of my menu all code is done but that one with the colors ... so help me to "navigate" in this array of pointers

Code:

char *m[] = {"data\0", "come\0", "here\0"};

for (p=0; p<3; p++) printf("%s\n", m[p]);

sorry but i dont wanna print the menu ...

Sorry but, I can not use this m[0] I must do it pixel by pixel, thats mean that i must do it symbol by symbol

You want to access each character? like m[0][0] ?

Ohhh guys for printing my menu I am using this code:

Code:

	// printing top RED background

	do
	{
		mainchInfo[j].Char.AsciiChar = ' ';
		mainchInfo[j].Attributes = BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY;
		j++;
	}while(j < 80);

	// printing top menu
	do
	{
		for(i = 0; i < strlen(menu[u]); i++)
		{
			mainchInfo[k].Char.AsciiChar = *(menu[u] + i);
			k++;
		}
		u++;
		mainchInfo[k].Char.AsciiChar = ' ';
		k++;
	}while(u < count);

	put_screen(&coord, mainchInfo);

I need code like this for making that background changing colors ...

So I ask how to make when my selection is on data to switch it to next element of array of pointers, I need a algorithm if i am on 3rd one how to switch to 4th one ... and in backward

Hope now I am clear ...

Add 1 to your pointer, or subtract 1.

yes man i know how to type it but this time i dont have the algorithm ...
