ok... start with playing around with
this snippet, it has lots of functions that we will want to use. To this collection of functions we want to add a function called ClearConsoleFrom(int row) that will clear the console from a specified row on down.
The function would look like:
CODE
void ClearConsoleFrom(int row)
{
//Get the handle to the current output buffer...
HANDLE hStdOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
//This is used to reset the carat/cursor to the top left.
COORD coord = {0, row};
//A return value... indicating how many chars were written
// not used but we need to capture this since it will be
// written anyway (passing NULL causes an access violation).
DWORD count;
//This is a structure containing all of the console info
// it is used here to find the size of the console.
CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
//Here we will set the current color
if(GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdOut, &csbi))
{
//This fills the buffer with a given character (in this case 32=space).
FillConsoleOutputCharacter(hStdOut, (TCHAR) 32, csbi.dwSize.X * (csbi.dwSize.Y - row), coord, &count);
FillConsoleOutputAttribute(hStdOut, csbi.wAttributes, csbi.dwSize.X * (csbi.dwSize.Y - row), coord, &count );
//This will set our cursor position for the next print statement.
SetConsoleCursorPosition(hStdOut, coord);
}
return;
}
So using your initial program as a base this is what I came up with:
CODE
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void ConPrint(char *CharBuffer, int len);
void ConPrintAt(int x, int y, char *CharBuffer, int len);
void gotoXY(int x, int y);
void ClearConsole();
void ClearConsoleFrom(int row);
void ClearConsole(int ForgC, int BackC);
void SetColor(int ForgC, int BackC);
void SetColor(int ForgC);
void HideCursor();
void ShowCursor();
class x {
public :
void y();
};
void x::y()
{
int n;
start:
gotoXY(0,4);
cout<<"input number:";
cin>>n;
if (n%2==0){
cout<<"<warning>, input number must odd\n";
Sleep(2000);
ClearConsoleFrom(4);
goto start;
}
}
void main (){
x run;
ClearConsole(15, 1);
cout<<"\ntest number :\n";
cout<<"\n===================\n";
run.y();
cin.get();
}
//This will clear the console while setting the forground and
// background colors.
void ClearConsole(int ForgC, int BackC)
{
WORD wColor = ((BackC & 0x0F) << 4) + (ForgC & 0x0F);
//Get the handle to the current output buffer...
HANDLE hStdOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
//This is used to reset the carat/cursor to the top left.
COORD coord = {0, 0};
//A return value... indicating how many chars were written
// not used but we need to capture this since it will be
// written anyway (passing NULL causes an access violation).
DWORD count;
//This is a structure containing all of the console info
// it is used here to find the size of the console.

//Here we will set the current color
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hStdOut, wColor);
if(GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdOut, &csbi))
{

//This will set our cursor position for the next print statement.
SetConsoleCursorPosition(hStdOut, coord);
}
return;
