anyone knows what's wrong?!?!?

i have this source code to set the cursor position but i don t know what s wrong with it
could you plz help or send me another piece of code??
by the way i have this function that comes in the c++ library setCursorPos(x , y)
but it doesn't work either
i need some instructions about it, too.
------------------------
void location(int x, int y)
{
HANDLE OutputH;
COORD position = {x, y};
OutputH = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); SetConsoleCursorPosition(OutputH, position); }

On what were you thinking when you made that poll? Where you thinking at all? :rolleyes:

Strange Person?

Hmm...the answer is Cobol....

Seriously....your code is ok...it must be your implementation...

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void location(int x, int y)
{
HANDLE OutputH;
COORD position = {x, y};
OutputH = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
SetConsoleCursorPosition(OutputH, position);
}

int main(void)
{
    location(10,5);
    cout << "Hello world";
return 0;
}

---

My guess is that you might be confusing the position as being relevant to pixels, when in fact the function relates to char position......if you put location(100,500); for instance, the function will fail...

what kind of person posts a 'favorite language' poll in a c++ board?

lol :D
