ReadConsoleOutputCharacter
The ReadConsoleOutputCharacter function copies a number of characters from consecutive cells of a console
screen buffer, beginning at a specified location.
BOOL ReadConsoleOutputCharacter(
HANDLE hConsoleOutput,
| // handle of a console screen buffer
| LPTSTR lpCharacter,
| // address of buffer to receive characters
| DWORD nLength,
| // number of character cells to read from
| COORD dwReadCoord,
| // coordinates of first cell to read from
| LPDWORD lpNumberOfCharsRead
| // address of number of cells read from
| );
|
|
Parameters
hConsoleOutput
Identifies a console screen buffer. The handle must have GENERIC_READ access.
lpCharacter
Points to a buffer that receives the characters read from the screen buffer.
nLength
Specifies the number of screen buffer character cells from which to read. The
size of the buffer pointed to by the lpCharacter parameter should be nLength * sizeof(TCHAR).
dwReadCoord
Specifies the coordinates of the first cell in the screen buffer from which to
read. The X member of the COORD structure is the column, and the Y member is the row.
lpNumberOfCharsRead
Points to a 32-bit variable that receives the number of characters actually
read.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If the number of characters to be read from extends beyond the end of the
specified screen buffer row, characters are read from the next row. If the number
of characters to be read from extends beyond the end of the screen buffer,
characters up to the end of the screen buffer are read.
Windows NT: This function uses either Unicode characters or 8-bit characters from the
console's current codepage. The console's codepage defaults initially to the
system's OEM codepage. To change the console's codepage, use the SetConsoleCP or SetConsoleOutputCP functions, or use the chcp or mode con cp select= commands.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
