Assuming you just meant a character box this will do it.
private static void DrawABox( int x, int y, int width, int height,char Edge,string Message )
{
int LastIndex =0 ;
Console.SetCursorPosition(x, y);
for ( int h_i = 0; h_i <= height ; h_i++ )
{
if ( LastIndex != -1 )
{
int seaindex = (LastIndex + ( width - 1) );
if(seaindex >= Message.Length -1 )
seaindex = Message.Length - 1;
int newIndex = Message.LastIndexOf(' ',seaindex);
if(newIndex == -1 )
newIndex = Message.Length - 1;
string substr = Message.Substring(LastIndex, newIndex - LastIndex);
LastIndex = newIndex;
Console.SetCursorPosition(x + 1, y + h_i);
Console.Write(substr);
}
for ( int w_i = 0; w_i <= width; w_i++ )
{
if ( h_i % height == 0 || w_i % width == 0 )
{
Console.SetCursorPosition(x + w_i, y + h_i);
Console.Write(Edge);
}
}
}
I edited the code to put a message in their. You will need to do more work on the boundary conditions. Ex no space in the message a word that is longer then the box but this should be enough to get you started.
There are curses bindings for C# (that might be a good start): http://curses-sharp.sourceforge.net/
If you want to write it by yourself, You can use extended ascii code to draw simple shapes in a console. Extended AScii Table
