I am making a new trainer and it will be console based trainer, and I need to know a few things about WriteConsole I am not using cout. I DID look up MSDN and didn't solve my problem.

When I do:
Code:
WriteConsole(handle, "                                                                                ", 80, &dwBytesWritten, NULL);


I have to do 80 spaces to make it go to the next line if, is there a way to end the line. Also is this the correct way to change the color:

Code:
SetConsoleTextAttribute(handle, FOREGROUND_GREEN);
WriteConsole(handle, "line1                                                                           ", 80, &dwBytesWritten, NULL);
SetConsoleTextAttribute(handle, FOREGROUND_BLUE);
WriteFile(handle, "line2                                                                           ", 80, &dwBytesWritten, NULL);

Use \n at the end of your string.
Edit: If you wanted to know more about \n:
