command: borland v. mvs

ok, so i've been working a nibbles program originally written in borland, but when i tried to compile it with mvs i came up with the error that "gotoxy()" was not indentified. so, i've been looking for a mvs version of such a function but i haven't found anything that remotely helps.

if someone could tell me if there is, and what it is i'd be really greatful.

The SetConsoleCursorPosition function sets the cursor position in the specified console screen buffer.

BOOL SetConsoleCursorPosition(

    HANDLE hConsoleOutput,        // handle of console screen buffer
    COORD dwCursorPosition        // new cursor position coordinates 
  );

---

Parameters

hConsoleOutput

Identifies a console screen buffer. The handle must have GENERIC_WRITE access.

dwCursorPosition

Specifies a COORD structure containing the new cursor position. The coordinates are the column and row of a screen buffer character cell. The coordinates must be within the boundaries of the screen buffer.

or implement the nice winapi version of gotoxy() that Sunlight wrote ages ago and has existed in our FAQs since god was a boy - here

if you still wanted to use gotoxy() maybe this might work:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>        // for other functions :)
#include <conio.h>                //for getch()
#include <iostream>                // for cout
using namespace std;

void gotoxy(short x, short y)
{
        COORD XY;

        XY.X = x;
        XY.Y = y;

        SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), XY);
}


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        gotoxy(10, 10);
        cout << "WORKS?";
        getch();

        return 0;
}

---

consh = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
void gotoRC(int row, int col)
{
COORD coord;
coord.X = col;
coord.Y = row;
SetConsoleCursorPosition(consh,coord);
}



that works 100%
