Thread: creating a menu using C

Display your twelve items. Read input. Do something.


Quzah.

Code:

int choice;
do {
   printf("Please make a choice: \n"
          "1) Option One \n"
          "2) Option Two \n"
          "3) Option Three \n"
          "4) Option Four \n"
          "5) Exit \n");
   scanf("%d", &choice);
   if (choice == 1) {}
   else if (choice == 2) {}
   else if (choice == 3) {}
   else if (choice == 4) {}

Something tells me that's not what he's looking for.

So make an attempt at it. Surely you have enough experience programming to give it a decent try. Look for some graphics libraries online and read the documentation.

We're getting closer! Now, what environment are you using? Are you using an IDE where you can quickly build a form using a graphic editor, or are you intending to code it manually through your source?

If you're using an IDE such as Visual Studio or C++Builder, you should be able to find many tutorials on this very topic.

If you're intending to code it manually, scrap that idea and get an IDE. Or, try searching the Windows Programming forum...

We can't really help you (I can't help at all if it's graphical. ) with these one line discriptions of your program. You have to give details. What kind of graphics do you want it to have? Are you looking for clickable options, do you want them to type it in a text box?

Borland C++Builder? Good choice!

There is actually a Text Editor tutorial included in the online help for C++Builder...also check out: http://www.programmershelp.co.uk/c++builder.php.
