my main language is vb/c#.net and I’d like to make a console program but with a menu system.
If any of you have worked with ‘dos’ like programs or iSeries from IBM then thats the style I am going for.
so, was wondering if anyone knows of a ‘winforms’ library that will make my form look like this. I dont mind a ‘fake winforms look’ or a console application but thats how I’d like.
You are looking for a curses like library but for windows. And usable from VB & C#.
Curses provides for a even richer text based UI than even iSeries. All sorts of widgetry!
Windows is not really supportive of text interfaces whether on purpose or not so are out of luck.
But …
Well, how about MonoCurses? I don’t know if it will work though. Also look at PDCurses. And if you don’t mind using Python for just the front-end see this.
