Move text cursor to particular screen coordinate?


How can I set the cursor to the desired location on the console in C or C++?

I remember a function called gotoxy(x,y), but I think its deprecated. Is there any alternative?


Solution

  • Use SetConsoleCursorPosition.

    There are a bunch of other functions in the same part of the MSDN library. Some of them may be useful too.
