C++ NCurses how to get current cursor position?


How do I get the current position of the cursor in terminal with NCurses using C++? I searched around a bit and saw "getxy(int x, int y)". I tried that and got the error "'getxy' was not declared in this scope".


Solution

  • You might have forgotten some #include <ncurses.h> and the macro is spelled getyx

    Don't forget to compile with g++ -Wall -g and to link with -lncurses
