Console SetCursorPos ?

[Michael]

Hi everybody,

I want to know if there is a function in the Console to
"jump" to a specific position in a Console-Output window
and write something there.
Another question is, if I can write with different colors
in the Console (without windows-api, because I want to port
the app to linux sometimes).

I want to create a status-page for my Console-app, on which
I show the status of the threads that are running.

#############################################
Thread 1: Creating user |######### |
Thread 2: Sending result to db |## |
Thread 3: nothing | |


#############################################

If there is no easy function, i have to use Console.Clear().

With V1.0 and V1.1 of the framework you have to call out
to the win32 API for this kind of work... but you will be
happy to know that in Whidbey both are supported. Check
out this demo on the BCL team website:

In addition, I remember I have seen an open-source project somewhere on the
Internet which provides rich console interface support for .NET versions 1.0
and 1.1. I think the original poster can relatively easily Google it.
