Showing cursor in background console window

If you want to show the cursor in a background console window, you need to make sure the cursor visibility is set properly. In a Windows environment, you can use the conio.h header to achieve this.

Here's a basic example in C that demonstrates how to show the cursor in a console window:

cCopy code
#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>



int main() {

    // Set cursor visibility

    _setcursortype(_NORMALCURSOR);



    // Your code here



    return 0;

}

In this example, _setcursortype(_NORMALCURSOR) sets the cursor visibility to normal. You can also use _NOCURSOR to hide the cursor and _SOLIDCURSOR to set a solid (block) cursor.

Remember that this approach is specific to the Windows console environment and uses functions from conio.h, which is not part of the C standard library. Additionally, this approach may not work in certain situations, especially if your application has a GUI interface.

If you are working with a different programming language or environment, there may be other ways to achieve cursor visibility control. For example, in Python, you can use the ctypes module to call the Windows API functions for cursor manipulation.
