position cursor in the console

Dear all,
I need to print in unmaaged code folowing line into console.
#blablabla#.
Where # should be rotating line(first |then/ then - then\).
How would I do that?
Thanks a lot,

If the message was at the beginning of a line, then you could print the text
followed by \r to return your "printing position" to the start of the line,
then keep printing the same thing over and over (changing the first
character). I think that's the easiest way.

If you need more explicit positioning, under Visual C++ you need to use the
Win32 console functions, which can be found in MSDN.

Good morning, I have a form containing a text-area, I'd like to know if it exists a function that, when I activate an event, returns the position of the cursor in the text-area. For example, I write ten words in the text-area, then I move the cursor at the beginning of the second word and activate the event (for example, click on a button): is there a way to know that the cursor is at the beginning of the second word?

Honest, I scoured the comp.lang.c.faq for this but found nothing. :) Is there a library function for placing the cursor position in the console? Or is it something that can only be done with a platform API call? I was able to do this in Windows with a Windows.h function, but I want to also do it on Linux/Unix as well. I won't ask for a Linux API call that positions the cursor, as that is

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
