En el ejemplo siguiente se usa el Clear método para borrar la consola antes de ejecutar un bucle, se pide al usuario que seleccione un color de primer plano y de fondo y que escriba una cadena que se va a mostrar. Si el usuario decide no salir del programa, se restauran los colores originales de primer plano y de fondo de la consola y se vuelve a llamar al Clear método antes de volver a ejecutar el bucle.

El ejemplo se basa en un GetKeyPress método para validar la selección del usuario de un color de primer plano y de fondo.

En este ejemplo se muestran las CursorLeft propiedades y CursorTop , y los SetCursorPosition métodos y Clear . En el ejemplo se coloca el cursor, que determina dónde se producirá la escritura siguiente, para dibujar un rectángulo de 5 caracteres por 5 caracteres mediante una combinación de cadenas "+", "|" y "-". Tenga en cuenta que el rectángulo podría dibujarse con menos pasos mediante una combinación de otras cadenas.

      Console::WriteLine( e->Message );

Comentarios

El uso del Clear método equivale a invocar el comando MS-DOS cls en la ventana del símbolo del sistema. Cuando se llama al Clear método , el cursor se desplaza automáticamente a la esquina superior izquierda de la ventana y el contenido del búfer de pantalla se establece en espacios en blanco mediante los colores de fondo de primer plano actuales.

Se aplica a
