I’m working with .NET (specifically Boo, but answers would work in C# too) and I want to know how I could create an editable box inside the command line, such that I could display a section of output in the top part of the command line, and have a one line box at the bottom for input, much like the program irssi (the IRC client) does.
I assume this is possible with .NET, how would I approach this?
You can use
Console.SetCursorPosition(Column, Row)to set the cursor to the appropriate position. For your example, useConsole.SetCursorPosition(0, Console.WindowHeight-1)to place the cursor at the lower-most row and then let the user enter text.
