Conio.h

In Visual C++ the header file "conio.h" doesn't work. Do you know
where i can find a way to make goto(x,y) work?

conio.h in VC++ doesn't contain gotoxy. conio is a nonstandard header so it's a toss-up whether or not the function you want will be supported. Look in the cprogramming.com FAQ for a way to write your own gotoxy for Windows.

-Prelude

Code:

---

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

Declare that and you can call it just as if it were in conio.h.
BTW, dimentions are 80X50 i think.

My conio.h is screwed up bad.
I looked in it and found line with some getch() code but when i included it and tried using getch() it doesnt work!!
And isnt clrscr() in conio too?
That one aint working either...
What's wrong????

Have you tried _getch() and _clrscr()?

What errors do you get, exactly?

Well, you could think portably and just not use conio.h ;)

-Prelude

That's how to manage without conio.h
