如何实现跨平台的类似cscope的基于文本的用户界面？

Question

I want my C++ program to:

• Allow the selection of choices as in cscope; that is using tabs, and circularly iterating over the choices.
• Further, the choices should not scroll, as is the case with cscope.

Any ideas how I can implement this? I would like my implementation to be cross-platform ie supports Windows, Linux and Mac environments.

I think you want ncurses . Have a look at the Linux tool aptitude to see what it can look like.
