gotoxy() function is not working in Visual Studio

c, c++, visual-studio-2010

Solution

Are you talking about command line applications or windows applications? You must remember that VC2008 is a windows specific development environment, so if you were learning programming on a linux/unix or an older dos system then things will not be the same.

The only way I know of under windows to change the position of the cursor in a console application is to use the windows function SetConsoleCursorPositon.
