Stationary cursors in vs and gotoxy

[Jack]

Hello,
How do people in the early age of computing achieve stationary cursors
while the dos prompt is counting something (or refreshing) in C?
How do I get gotoxy effect like in Borland C++ 3.1
in Visual Studio?
Thanks
Jack

Visual Studio is not really relevant to the question - it's the Windows API
that you're asking about.

The answer is SetConsoleCusorPosition
