Wondering how or if you can change the font type/size and color in a regular c++ console window. If so please include appropiate header(s). using VC6

how do i get a single ASCII character from the user, useing a console window, without having to use the return key. i want the user to use the arrow keys (and some others) to move pices of info around on the screen. how would i go about doing this and what headers will i need.

but how do i keep from having one big .h file, i do not wish to declare all my classes in the .h file, thats what the .cpp is for? is it proper/normal programing to defile all the functions in the .h?

First time useing templates and allthough they arnt needed im useing them to get used to templates. Im getting erros with i try to declare my key_table (the class) like key_table< apstring, int> kt; it give the error: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall key_table< class apstring,int>::key_table< class apstring,int>(void)" (??0?$key_table@Vapstring@@H@@QAE@XZ) i dont have anything else in my main except for the statment: key_table< apstring, int> kt; i dont know why it would be complaing about it but if im using the templates wrong please correct me.

//onetable.h

#include "assoc.h"

template< class S, class L> class key_table
{
public:
key_table();
key_table(const key_table< S,L> &table);

	int length();
	bool empty();
	void store(const S &target);
	bool get\_string(const S &target);
	//bool remove(const S &target);
	key\_table operator =(const key\_table< S,L> &table);
	
protected:
	int table\_length;
	int current\_string;
	assoc< S,L> data\[MAX\_TABLE\_SIZE\];

};

//onetable.cpp

#include "onetable.h"
#include template< class S, class L>
key_table< S,L>::key_table(){
table_length=0;
current_string=0;
}

template< class S, class L>
key_table< S,L>::key_table(const key_table< S,L> &table){
table_length=table.table_length;

for(int j=0;j< MAX\_TABLE\_SIZE;j++)
	data\[j\]=table.data\[j\];

}

template< class S, class L>
int key_table< S,L>::length(){
return table_length;
}

template< class S, class L>
bool key_table< S,L>::empty(){
if(table_length==0)
return true;
else
return false;
}

template< class S, class L>
void key_table< S,L>::store(const S &target){
int probe = 0;
bool found = false;

L item=target.length();

assert(table\_length< MAX\_TABLE\_SIZE);
assoc a(target, item);
data\[table\_length+1\]=a;
++table\_length;

}

template< class S, class L>
bool key_table< S,L>::get_string(const S &item){
bool success=false;

if(empty)
	success=false;
else if(current\_string=table\_length)
	success=false;
else{
	current\_string++;
	item=data\[current\_string\].get\_string();
}
	
return success;

Hello, i am trying to begin in Win32 programing and wondering where some good win32 resources are to help begin in it (not books). And if you know a really good book on it please let me know, although im primarly looking for web (free resources) since i dont have $60+ to shell out. Also MFC but i think its a good idea to learn win32 before mfc.

The function has to find the mode (number most found in the array, for ex. array[]{1, 2, 1, 1} the mode is 1 since it appears 3 times in the array while 2 only apears once. movie is a class and it has a array of ints which movie.return_value(int) accesses. right now the mode equals the first number in the array, its like the second if isant getting evaluated right, anyway in my mind this should work and i cant find a way around it. void getmode(movie_data movie){ int numfound0=0, numfound1=0, mode=0, *num0ptr=&numfound0, *num1ptr=&numfound1, *modeptr=&mode; for(int j=0;j*num1ptr){ num1ptr=num0ptr; *modeptr=movie.return_value(j); } } } cout<<*num1ptr; movie.put_mode(modeptr); cout<
