Never mind the last post. I'm now using DJGPP. I thought there was an option for dos program (not just console program).

Wow this question is still open? I don't remember excatly what I did to solve my problem. I don't believe I had to change compilers. But as I look back to some old files from the time, it looks like I used getch() so I'm awarding points to Exceter. Not only because he was the only one to tell me to use getch(), but also he was the only one to try to anwer my question. &nbsp;I can't test my old code to see if it works because I'm running Linux only now, and therfore don't have conio to test it with.

How do I capture when an arrow key is pressed so that I can highlight a different option of the menu. The menu would look something like this:<br />
----------<br />
Main Menu<br />

Option 1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Option2<br />
Option 3 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Option4<br />

C++ menu navigation with arrow keys

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
