- SmartStartConsole()
- Puts(), Putsf(), Print(), Printf()
- NewLine()
- Pause()
- Gets(), Getch()
- SetFgColor()
- sProgressBar()
- PrintColorTable()
- FreeConsole()
Description:
This example is basically a follow-up of example 1. It shows a way the interaction between GUI and CLI can be implemented.
Essentially, a deeper look at the "basics".
Functions used:
- SmartStartConsole()
- Puts(), Putsf(), Print()
- Gets()
- GetConsoleInputCP(), GetConsoleOutputCP()
Description:
This example was originally implemented to push the limits of LibCon a little further than the "basics". It involves a DOS style GUI, similar to Word 5.5a using "text-based GUI". This is considered to be a more profound example. It has been simplified and commented greatly to demonstrate the basic concept of "drawing" in the console, or otherwise, "GUI drawing".
Essentially, an example that takes a deeper look at the more advanced console functions.
Functions used:
- StartConsole()
- GetConsoleSize(), SetConsoleSize()
- SetColor(), GetColor()
- GetConsoleCursorInfo(), SetConsoleCursorInfo()
- SetConsoleCursorPos()
- GetConsoleMode(), SetConsoleMode()
- Puts(), Putsf(), Print(), Printf()
- NewLine()
- GetFontWidth(), GetFontHeight()
- GetConsoleWidth()
- GetConsoleClientHeight()
- ClearScreen()
- SetColorPos(), GetColorPos()
- ReadConsoleInput()
