conio?

[bookwormjadi1]

Hello everyone.

i put this on windows programming cause i think "conio/conio.h" is w\ windows right??

i used conio in this class of mine and i get this error all the time with gotoxy() function and textcolor();

this is the class:

//davezz !@!@*!)(@*)!*@!*(@!*@(

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
using namespace std;

void center(char title[10], int y, int c);

void center(char title[10], int y, int c)
{
gotoxy(40-strlen(title)/2,y);
textcolor(c);
printf("%s",title);
textcolor(7);
}


any ideas are really appreciated. ^^

conio.h is not the library you (and everyone) thinks it is.
(What you want is the old Borland additions.)

If you are using MinGW, you can get a drop-in replacement here
http://conio.sourceforge.net/docs/html/conio2_8h.html
(as soon as sourceforge comes back online)

Otherwise you'll have to code the functions yourself.

If you want to be able to do this on *nixen as well, then you might as well just dump conio* and instead jump into using Curses:

There's a bit of a learning curve, and messing with colors is obnoxious, but not impossible. Here's an example:
