C# Advanced Console I/O [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: Console.ReadLine("Default Text Editable Text On Line") (2 answers) Clos开发者_C百科ed 4 years ago.

I have multiple I/O tasks that I want to do with a console:

• Print out standard, non-editable text (Console.WriteLine())
• Print out text that the user can edit (?)
• Allow the user to type, and be able to output text via the two methods above (?)
  • It would be nice if I could do password masking too.

Anybody have any solutions?

Edit text like in a console-based text editor?

I think all that you need is in the Console class, have a look at its members:

Maybe you could give curses a try, there is a C# wrapper avaiable. Didn't tried it myself, though...

Party like it's 1988 with Mono's getline. http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2008/Aug-26.html

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        Console.Write("Please Select : "+S[i]);
        ConsoleKeyInfo K = Console.ReadKey(); 
        while (K.Key.ToString() != "Enter")
        {
            Console.Write(ShowOptions(K));
            K = Console.ReadKey();
        }
        Console.WriteLine("");
        Console.WriteLine("Option Selected : " + S[i]);

        Console.ReadKey();
        }
    public static string ShowOptions(ConsoleKeyInfo Key)
    {

        if(Key.Key.ToString() == "UpArrow")
        {
            if (i != S.Length-1)
                return "\b\b" + S[++i];
            else 
                return "\b\b" + S[i];
        }
        else if (Key.Key.ToString() == "DownArrow")
        {
            if(i!=0)
            return "\b\b" + S[--i];
            else 
                return "\b\b" + S[i];
        }

        return "";
    }
}
