gotoxy & clrsrc

What do I have to do to be able to use "gotoxy(x,y);" and "clrsrc;"?

read the board FAQ...

gotoxy()

clrscr()

http://www.cprogramming.com/boardfaq.html#clear

Hmmmm that still didn't seem to work. mY compiler is microsoft visual c++, and it is said that it only does windows, and not dos. could that be the problem?

gotoXY() is a function console function in boorland's conio.h


instead you must include <wincon.h> and <winbase.h>
or I think that if you simply include <windows.h> that will do the trick...



and use some of the console functions

Code:

---

  COORD dwCordinates;

  dwCordinates.X = 20;
  dwCordinates.Y = 20;

  HANDLE consoleHandle = GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );
 
  /*
  STD_INPUT_HANDLE
  STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE Standard output handle
  STD_ERROR_HANDLE
  */

 SetConsoleCursorPosition( consoleHandle, dwCordinates);

...oh by the way ... to clear the screen
#include<process.h>

....
system("cls");
....


there a bunch of console functions if you want to perform a search for them in your help files...using the keywords
Console Functions

Quote:

---

#include<process.h>

....
system("cls");

Wrong! system is in stdlib on every compiler I've ever used...

What does the FAQ version do wrong?

it's in both files.... see line 145 of process.h

Thanks you guys are great you helped a lot!!!
