    anybody dare to try this?

    anybody can help me to solve the problem that i face in c++

    in c++ dos mode i want to make like this, when u run the prog:

    please select this(a, b)?_

    and if user press "b" key without hitting the "enter" key i want this line come out

    u pressing "b" key

    is it possible by just pressing the "b" key only and without pressing the "enter" key the line above will appear?

    please anybody can help me with the complete source code?

    I was gunna suggest somthing like
    [i use borland turbo c++ 3.0 for dos]

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include "what_ever_else_u_need.h"
    int main() // arguments if u like
    {
       char keypress;
       cout << "Please choose a or b:";
       keypress = getch();
       switch(keypress)
       {
          case 'a': cout << "You Pressed A"; /*do(this)*/; break;
          case 'b': cout << "You Pressed B"; /*do(this)*/; break;
          default: cout << "Invalid choice.. try again.."; main();
       }
       return 0;
    }
    or something like that.. (knowing me it would not work anyway)
