Alright I am still new to programing in c++ and I understand the whole menu driven processes but how would I create something that has the ability to be chosen by a mouse click or a drop down menu instead of it all being solely text entry.
You would need to create a GUI to make this work, rather than using a console. This is often considerably higher level, and is probably not for you if you are still new to programming in C++. If, however, you still wanted to do this, use something like Qt, wxWidgets or the API relative to your operating system.
