Jump to Postjust display a message, such as
cout << "Please wait while loading or press a key to exit ..."; while(1) ;
Jump to PostOk, so add some print statements inside the loop I posted. Use the win32 api function Sleep() to delay the program between print statements. You can't show graphics uniess you want to write a win32 api windows program, but that's not a console program.

well i had a program a friend gave me before it was in the dos box but it woul load 1 to 100 percent just the numbers would change
int load = 0;
while (load < 100)
load++;
cout << "loading" << load << endl;this may go fast make another int eg int count = 0; if count = 1000 do the stuff then it will = 0. else count++;

It's done this way
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
cout << "\r" << i ;
Sleep(1000); // delay 1 second
}oh yeah, havent been using console for a while, havent been using sleep
