Need help with C++ in dos

[SykoStokkrTim]

Is there a command or function that I could use to cout text to a certain x,y coordinate on the screen? I know in QBasic this is the LOCATE command. Any help would be nice.

It's been a long time since I've made MS-DOS programmes, but I would try to experiment with some ANSI.SYS escape sequences. You can find more information here:

There's something in conio.h, but people seem to shy away from that for some reason.

If you have written a Windows application, then you can create the console window with AllocConsole() and can use SetConsoleCursorPosition() along with WriteConsole() etc. to place cursors, read, write, etc. just like you're used to in QBasic.
