VSoft.System.Console - Delphi implementation of c# Console class

[Vincent Parrett 830]

Hi All

 

This is a port of the dotnet/c# Console class, which makes easy to do things like set colors, move the cursor etc. 

 

https://github.com/VSoftTechnologies/VSoft.System.Console

Currently only Windows supported, however it's architected so that other platforms can be added - happy to take pull requests for that if anyone wants to add other platforms.  

 

Supports Delphi XE3 or later (compiles with XE2 but encoding issues stop it from working correctly).

For me, the demo code bails out with an exception on SetWindowSize(..).

 

For some reason, GetLargestConsoleWindowSize returns (240, 54) which then causes your function to raise an EArgumentOutOfRangeException. Which seems to be matching the .NET counterpart.

 

So all is fine, and my computer is acting up. Weird.

Oh that's weird. What version of delphi are you using?

The valid sizes will depend on your screen resolution. on my machine I get

 

LargestWindowHeight 85  
LargestWindowWidth 320

 

So that call to SetWindowSize is out of bounds for your machine. I guess I should make the demo use more conservative values.

New one

//    Console.SetWindowSize(200,60);
    Console.SetWindowSize(150,48);

 

Now Ok, but stack does nothing What is supposed to do?

 

turned endlessly

    while true do
      Sleep(200);

The demo is very basic - haven't had time to produce anything more extensive.
