Text/Cursor Positioning in Console

Question

Any of you guys suggest how could i display the time just on top of the [x] Exit ? I'm currently using Console.Write() and ch.gotoxy() which sets my cursor into different places

(btw, my cursor is 'Ö' beside 293)

Answer 1

I haven't tried but, what about creating a different Thread (or Task in the new TPL) that only writes the time? You'll need to share your cursor position between the two Threads and use some locking system while using Console.SetCursorPosition.

Answer 2

There is an int under Console called CursorLeft and CursorTop. CursorLeft is your X coordinates and CursorTop is your Y. Just use that to set your position
