Thread: draw pos, locate function type help

in m$ vc++ 6.0 i am creating a console app and i want to:
* clear the screen and start from line:0 | char:0
* use some sort of pixel set command for simple graphics
* set the position of text on the console screen

i dont have a clue on how to do any, well for the screen clear i tried including conio.h and using clrscr but my compiler doesnt support this :P can anyone help here plz?
thanx

well i think its obvious that ive read the faq;
as ive tried to use there clrscr conio.h example but it isnt compatible with M$VC++ and the other options except the one about throwing the monitor away dont seem suitable in my case, the only option i can think of is using assembly but thrs gotta be a better way!

sory i forget to mention i dont want to include the windows header, if i did i could just use set console attributes and stuff, but i want to make it portable to basic dos. (and im under the impression that u cant run it i dos if u include windows.h) i could allways use assembly fuctions like::

;Clear Screen
;
Call Cls
;
;Position 15,20
;
Mov $Ycur,15
Mov $Xcur,20
;
;Set Color to 12
;
Mov FgColor,12
Mov BgColor,
Call SetAttribute

but like i said a better way must be around!!!

wow i realy didnt know that! i thought that m$vc++ allowed the port to normal dos sighs ohwell, il have to goto borland :P thanx
