need info on current curser postion.
Hi All,

I have written the below code to know the current curser position. The problem with this code is - it gives me window size properly but whn it comes to current curser position then it gives (0,0) as x,y co-ordinate eventhough my curser is somewhere middle on command line interface.

So could you please tell me that whats the purpose of getyx(). If it is to know current curser position then why does it always give me 0,0 as x,y co-ordinate?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
initscr();
getmaxyx(stdscr, row, col);
getyx(stdscr, y, x);
endwin();
////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Thanks in advance
Swapnil

glutpositionwindow

glutPositionWindow(3GLUT)					       GLUT						 glutPositionWindow(3GLUT)

NAME

       glutPositionWindow - requests a change to the position of the current window.

SYNTAX

       void glutPositionWindow(int x, int y);

ARGUMENTS

       x	 New X location of window in pixels.

       y	 New Y location of window in pixels.

DESCRIPTION

       glutPositionWindow requests a change in the position of the current window. For top-level windows, the x and y parameters are pixel offsets
       from the screen origin. For subwindows, the x and y parameters are pixel offsets from the window's parent window origin.

       The requests by glutPositionWindow are not processed immediately.  The request is executed after returning to the  main	event  loop.  This
       allows multiple glutPositionWindow, glutReshapeWindow, and glutFullScreen requests to the same window to be coalesced.

       In  the	case of top-level windows, a glutPositionWindow call is considered only a request for positioning the window. The window system is
       free to apply its own policies to top-level window placement.  The intent is that top-level windows should be repositioned according  glut-
       PositionWindow's parameters.

       glutPositionWindow disables the full screen status of a window if previously enabled.
