Put your program in an infinite loop.

Have the user enter a choice using whatever function you are happy with.

If the choice means exit, then break out of the loop. Otherwise, the program just idles in the loop.

try using

system("pause");

A system("pause") is the same as a getch() inthat you have to press enter to exit.

With a loop waiting on the user for a choice, you can put the code for getting the choice on a separate thread which you can monitor from main(). After a specified wait, main() can shut down the program without needing a response from the user.

But won't infinite loop just hang the program....?

@CasTLeVaNia...
Can you please elaborate your ques a little more?
Do you want to freeze your cmd screen for a while?

The infinite loop lets the program stop usally based on a menu:

while(1)
{
int choice = GetChoice();
switch(choice)
{
case ADD:
//call your "add logic"
break;
case DELETE:
//call your "delete logic"
break;
case etc.....
break;

case EXIT:
//call your cleanup logiv before exiting
exit(1); //stop the program. The only exit(1) in the code
default:
printf("Incorrect choice\n");

}
}
