What I'm Looking For

I'm interested in drawing controls over the current terminal, instead of switching away to a completely different screen.

What I've Tried

I've tried just about everything I can think of, but I always end up with a terminal full of blue. I'm on Windows 10, .NET 4.7.1.

  • Creating a new Toplevel with a frame of 100x1 and using that with Application.Run
  • I thought maybe the Init() call was goofing me up, so I tried subclassing Toplevel and setting those values myself, then using that subclass with Application.Run<T> to use the Func<Toplevel> overload of Application.Init
  • A variety of Window or Toplevel instances that set the bounds smaller than the terminal extents

I didn't see anything in the docs or any Google results or any Stack Overflow tags. Am I just missing it? Or is this not supported? (If not, I can fill out an enhancement issue 😁)

Thanks!
