Help with coords please

[Vincent Dominguez]

So I want a program to start at a sertain coord on the screen how do I do that? I've never needed to do that before can any one tell me please?

Start doing what? You would probably need a graphics library (I would recommend SFML or SDL). Also, you would need a solid knowledge of c++.

I need just a code that once you open the exe it starts at certain coords on you screen. I'm coding in Dev c++ and code blocks

This is a platform dependent thing. You need to deal with the OS API to position application windows.

If you're on Windows, check out the MoveWindow function:

For any other operating system, you'll have to search for the API call that does the same thing.

@Vincent Dominguez

Take a look at

http://v2.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/106842/

where I show a function called gotoXY(x,y), that positions text at column x, row y. This should be what you're needing..

That is neat but sadly no I need the window like thing to start at certain coordinates.
