ncurses menu question

hey everybody,

I wrote a little menu in ncurses and everything runs great. However, i'm having a bit of trouble adding a line right before the menu.

This is what my code looks like when i try to add a title

Code:

---

int main()
{
//ncurses init is done here

printw("A nifty title is located here\n"); //
        post_menu(my_menu);
        refresh();
//more stuff here to interact with the menu
return 0;
}

---

basically, the menu is always position at 0,0, thus overwritting any string before the menu. Is there a way to change the position of the menu?

Call move()? mvaddstr()? Something like that?

See the ncurses man pages or an online version.

[edit] Here's an ncurses tutorial: http://www.cs.mun.ca/~rod/ncurses/ncurses.html

Scroll down to "Standard Windows and Function Naming Conventions" to see how functions are named, including move() variants: http://www.cs.mun.ca/~rod/ncurses/ncurses.html#overview

Once you know more about ncurses, the man page is a great read: http://www.hmug.org/man/3/ncurses.php

BTW, I found that stuff by googling for "ncurses tutorial" and "man ncurses". It's not hard to find. [/edit]

i did google and find all those links (including the man)..

those all work correctly if i don't have the menu (ie i comment out post_menu(my_menu)). mvaddch will not move the menu down, it will just be painted on top of everything..

move(2, 0); ---> move the cursor down by 2

post_menu is still posted at 0,0, thus, overwritting everything that i have moved
