[RESOLVED] C# Console List Selector

Hi Guys, I have this list on a line in the Console:

<Tutorial> <Add Event> <Edit Event> <Remove Event> <Exit>

Code:

---

private static void startup()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Welcome to the Console Calendar. What would you like to do?");
            Console.WriteLine("<Tutorial> <Add Event> <Edit Event> <Remove Event> <Exit>");
        }

---

What I would like is to be able to use the Left and Right arrow keys to select the option the user wants. Signified by the item being underlined. EDIT: Underlined is preferred however research suggests it may not be possible. So I am open to suggestions.

Visual Example:

<Tutorial> <Add Event> <Edit Event> <Remove Event> <Exit>

I am guessing I will need a to set up some sort of keypress method for the arrow keys, but haven't a clue how to put it together to achieve what is needed.

Hope someone can help me :)

A console has no KeyPress handler, so you have to simulate that usig something like;

Code:

---

        ConsoleKeyInfo MyKeyInfo;
        do
        {
            MyKeyInfo= Console.ReadKey();
            //MyKeyInfo.Key was pressed
        }
        while (MyKeyInfo.Key != ConsoleKey.E);

---

But console programs like this typically have a command line more like;

MYConsole (T)utorial (A)dd Event (E)dit Event (R)emove Event (C)lose

So using the loop above, it's a single key press (i.e. the user presses T, A, E, R or C and the action starts).

Have you seen this looks like something you find us full.
