Where did you hear of a function named 'gotxy'?

I assume that the 'gotoxy' function that you are referring to is this one http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_gotoxy, right?

[lovelyhakeem]

exactly....i know about it....bur i wanna to know that is their any func og gotxy instead gotoxy??

[kspangsege]

Someone may know exactly what you are talking about - I don't, but I suggest you try to explain a bit more about this 'gotxy' that you are seeking.

[lovelyhakeem]

actually i know about func gotoxy but i saw a func gotxy in some C++ materials....i wanna to cnfirm that is their any function of this name

Yes, there is a function by the name of "gotoxy" in the non-standard (and non-portable) header file <conio.h> available with Windows C/C++ compilers. Please don't use it except for when you're required to use it in school. It isn't even useful on Windows really since the console is so limited. I don't know why Windows compiler vendors still keep it on life support.

What do you expect gotxy to do?

If you don't know what it does, then why do you care about it?

[thecodewall]

gotoxy() function that set coordinates for command line interface.

I know of gotoxy(int,int); but not gotxy()? sounds like a function that retrieves the co-ordinates of something, it could be anything.

[Disch]

it's probably a typo.

You may want to use the function SetConsolCursorPosition(), which belongs to the windows library. In fact, you can write your own gotoxy() using these function. For example:

#include <windows.h>

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

int wherex()
  {
  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
  COORD  result;
  if (!GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(
         GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ),
         &csbi
         ))
    return -1;
  return result.X;
  }

int wherey()
  {
  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
  COORD  result;
  if (!GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(
         GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ),
         &csbi
         ))
    return -1;
  return result.Y;
  }

This code was not write by me, but by Duoas in an old topic: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/4234/. Note that this gotoxy() may be use as the function gotoxy() from the conio library.
Hope I've helped you. And sory for my bad english, since it's not my first language.
