Exemplos

O exemplo a seguir usa o método para limpar o console antes de executar um loop, solicita que o usuário selecione um primeiro plano e uma cor da tela de fundo e insira uma cadeia de caracteres a ser Clear exibida. Se o usuário optar por não sair do programa, as cores de primeiro plano e de plano de fundo originais do console serão restauradas e o método será chamado novamente antes de executar novamente Clear o loop.

O exemplo se baseia em um método para validar a seleção do usuário de um primeiro plano e GetKeyPress uma cor da tela de fundo.

Este exemplo demonstra as propriedades CursorLeft e CursorTop, além dos métodos SetCursorPosition e Clear. O exemplo posiciona o cursor, que determina onde ocorrerá a próxima gravação, para desenhar um retângulo de 5 caracteres por 5 caracteres usando uma combinação de cadeias de caracteres "+", "|" e "-". Observe que o retângulo pode ser desenhado com menos etapas usando-se uma combinação de outras cadeias de caracteres.

Comentários

Usar o Clear método é equivalente a invocar o comando MS-DOS na janela do prompt de cls comando. Quando o método é chamado, o cursor rola automaticamente para o canto superior esquerdo da janela e o conteúdo do buffer da tela é definido como espaços em branco usando as cores atuais da tela de fundo em primeiro Clear plano.

Aplica-se a
