    how to use gotoxy()??

    I need an example of using the gotoxy() function.(using
    Dev-C++ compiler)

    Tell me what is wrong with this example program.. there is an error which is "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\cc7HDdgb.o(.text+0x33):delete~1.c : undefined reference to `gotoxy' "


    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<windows.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    int main()
    {
    printf("Hello!");
    gotoxy(10,10);
    printf("Hello!");
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
    }
    anyone has any suggestions??

    gotoxy() is not a standard function. From one of the FAQ's on THIS WEBSITE you can find:

    Q. No, really - I just want to do gotoxy!!!
    A. Sigh...



    #include <windows.h>

    void gotoxy(int x, int y)
    {
    COORD coord;
    coord.X = x;
    coord.Y = y;
    SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_H ANDLE), coord);
    }
