Here is simple code for creating a menu in graphics mode in turbo c++. you can select menus by pressing up and down arrow keys.
#include <graphics.h>
#include <conio.h>
void drawMenu(int x, int y, char* items[], int count, int selected) {
int height = 20;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
if (i == selected) {
setcolor(RED);
} else {
setcolor(WHITE);
}
rectangle(x, y + (i * height), x + 100, y + (i * height) + height);
outtextxy(x + 5, y + (i * height) + 5, items[i]);
}
}
int main() {
int gd = DETECT, gm;
initgraph(&gd, &gm, "C:\\Turboc3\\BGI");
char* menuItems[] = {"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"};
int selectedItem = 0;
int itemCount = 3;
drawMenu(50, 150, menuItems, itemCount, selectedItem);
while (1) {
if (kbhit()) {
int ch = getch();
if (ch == 0) { // special keys
ch = getch();
switch (ch) {
case 72: // up arrow key
selectedItem = (selectedItem - 1 + itemCount) % itemCount;
break;
case 80: // down arrow key
selectedItem = (selectedItem + 1) % itemCount;
break;
}
drawMenu(50, 150, menuItems, itemCount, selectedItem);
} else if (ch == 13) { // Enter key
outtextxy(50, 250, "You selected: ");
outtextxy(150, 250, menuItems[selectedItem]);
break;
}
}
}
getch();
closegraph();
return 0;
}
output:
