Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Argument
 
    x    New cursor position along the x (horizontal) axis
 
    y    New cursor position along the y (vertical) axis
 
  Description
 
    The GotoXY procedure places the cursor at the specified coordinates
    within the current window. The maximum coordinate for each direction
    depends on the size of the window.
 
    The current window may be the default window or one defined with the
    Window procedure. An x coordinate of 1 represents the leftmost
    column in a window. A y coordinate of 1 represents the uppermost
    row. The maximum value for each coordinate that can be passed to
    GotoXY depends on the current window and the current video mode.
    GotoXY ignores arguments that are out of range.
 
    The Window procedure sets a window size, and the TextMode procedure
    sets a text display mode. The WhereX and WhereY functions return
    information about the location of the cursor relative to the
    current window.
