You can manipulate input and a form with ansi control sequences.
Something which is off-topic for this newsgroup.

Alternatively, you can try: comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.misc

Thanks for your answer and sorry to be off-topic for this newsgroup,
but is that possible to have code samples to manipulate input and a
form with ansi control sequences ?

Thanks...

I don't know if i have to use the ansi control sequences to do a
graphical like dialog in a "textual mode", but what i want to do is a
graphical dialog .
I've seen that we can use ".rc" files but i don't know how to use
them...

Sure:

puts(" +----------------------+");
puts(" | Enter password |");
puts(" | +----------------+ |");
puts(" | | | |");
puts(" | +----------------+ |");
puts(" | +------+ |");
puts(" | | OK | |");
puts(" | +------+ |");
puts(" +----------------------+");

It's as standard C as you can get ;-)

But this relies on the implementation to supply a touchscreen! Undefined
behaviour and offtopic on c.l.c.

Again, as you were told, you will have much better help in a
MS Windows newsgroup or a newsgroup about your compiler.

Also, consult a book by Charles Petzold.

Ah, since you know it's off-topic, why are you posting it here? "j"
already suggested a more appropriate newsgroup.

What part of my code relies on a touch screen? A teletype is just fine
for my code. Although I'm not sure if Windows still supports the CTTY
command from the "good" old MSDOS days...

<OT>
The one that didn't work for the majority of programs
because they bypassed the slow DOS text I/O routines?

If you want to experience those days all over again,
you can run 'agetty' under Cygwin.

Hi guys, You know how annoying it is when Visual Studio keeps asking you for a username and password to access TFS? I figured it would be easy to write a little System Tray utility that could use SendKeys to enter the username and password into the dialog box and click the OK button. (I ultimately plan on making the application generic so that it'll work with any application that requires information to be entered in a dialog box.)
