Console apps

[Alexandre Gomes]

I've been searching for a clue for this but can't find one.

Is possible to create an aplication with something like:

"Decompressing... x%"

Where the x will be changing with the evolution of the decompression in
this case.
In this case I used decompressing but it could be anything like in Linux
or Dos where u can have an application in textmode.

Thanks

Sure. If you're using VS.NET, just click New Project menu, and in the
project dialog, pick Console Application.
The IDE will create the skeleton code for the project.
You can use Console.Write, or Console.WriteLine to output text to the
screen.

if you use console.writline, it will print one line after another
but if you use console.write and then use a linereturn insted of
the carrage return you should be able to over write the text
and perform the function you nee

That's currently not supported by the 'Console' class directly, but it
will be supported in .NET 2.0 (2005).

For now, you'll be wanting to either find a replacement Console class...
And, I used to have a link to a prety good one - but I can't find it
anymore! Or, you'll want to be looking into P/Invoke. Specifically, you'll
probably want:

GetStdHandle
GetConsoleMode
SetConsoleMode
*SetConsoleCursorPosition* 'this is the biggie

And a couple of others if you want colors...
