Win32Console

Expose functions to interact with the windows console from Rust.

See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-functions

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml: toml [dependencies] win32console = "0.1.4"

Example

```rust use win32console::console::WinConsole; use win32console::structs::input::*;

fn main() { // Virtual key codes // https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes const ESCAPE : u16 = 0x1B; const BACKSPACE: u16 = 0x08; const ENTER : u16 = 0x0D; const SPACE : u16 = 0x20;

loop{
    // Get the current input event
    if let KeyEvent(key) = WinConsole::input().read_single_input().unwrap(){
        // Only check for key down events
        if key.key_down{
            let char_value = key.u_char;
            // Write only if is alphanumeric or punctuation
            if char_value.is_ascii_alphanumeric() || char_value.is_ascii_punctuation(){
                let mut value : [u8; 1] = [0];
                char_value.encode_utf8(&mut value);
                WinConsole::output().write_utf8(&value);
            }
            else{
                match key.virtual_key_code {
                    ESCAPE => { break; },
                    ENTER => { WinConsole::output().write_utf8("\n".as_bytes()); }
                    SPACE => { WinConsole::output().write_utf8(" ".as_bytes()); },
                    BACKSPACE => { WinConsole::output().write_utf8(b"\x08 \x08"); },
                    _ => {}
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

} ```

Implementation

Here a list of the console methods implemented in this library.

And also this library provides functions as: ```c++ // Clears the screen WinConsole::output().clear();

// Reads a 'String' from the console WinConsole::input().read_string();

// Makes and tone sound WinConsole::beep(u32, u32);

// Sets the foreground color WinConsole::output().setforegroundcolor(ConsoleColor);

// Sets the background color WinConsole::output().setbackgroundcolor(ConsoleColor);

// Gets the foreground color WinConsole::output().getforegroundcolor();

// Gets the background color WinConsole::output().getbackgroundcolor(); ```
