How do i locate (remember the basic command : LOCATE ?)the keyboard cursor in Win32 Console applications with Visual C++ ? It seems as if the ANSI Escape Sequences dont work with it. So do you have any idea ? PS: I know its a really basic question... cYa SRMeister ICQ 38405287

Look up:

GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo()
SetConsoleCursorPosition()

Wouldn''t that need installed mouse drivers for DOS? My mouse only works if I install the drivers first. Just a thought...

Spiff: I believe he is just wanting how to change the look/position/get the position of the blinking input cursor, not give it mouse movements, although that would apply to mouse movments, you would edit the cursor to create "ascii" graphics and the like(ahh the good ol'days of dos, luckily there is linux to get my console os fix ) Anyways, I was about to recommend a bios interupt call (which is why I just edited this message), but then I remembered, win32 console apps don't like them... dang, now that I think about it, hmmmm tricky question... too bad there aren't any ANSI functions to do that for you.
