Is gotoxy ansi?

I have written a dos prog for borland c, it uses gotoxy() for nearly all its layout. But when I tried to compile in MSVC++ it just can't find gotoxy in the libs.

So is gotoxy ansi or do i have to find an alternative to gotoxy() for my msvc++ port?

This is a very big upset as I am writting it in ansi c for the sole purpose of compatibility.

any help on getting gotoxy working in mscv or alternative functions would be apreciated.


Thanks.

No gotoxy isn't ansi standard and msvc dosen't have it. However all is not lost:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

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

---

[edit] Arrrghhh Why the feck wont the SetConsoleCursorPosition function display on one line

Thanks,

still solve the main problem though.

unless I use some kind of #ifdef on which compiler is bing used.


I will try anyway.
