Simple Console Management

[MrDetonia]

Absolute newbie question:

I've just started learning C++, and i've gotten the hang of the basics now.

However, i'd like to know how I can manage console I/O similarly to how the Visual Studio libraries do (Console.X...). I'd like to be able to change cursor position, background/foreground colour, key input Etc.

If it helps, I'm using the CodeLite IDE (basically CodeBlocks).

Thanks

Learn about WinAPI. It is basically how VS does it. Or use some console handling library like ncurses (or one of its ports for Windows)
