mind that compiler is running the program correctly..

#include <graphics.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main(void)

   int left, top, right, bottom;

   /* initialize graphics and local variables */
   initgraph(&gdriver, &gmode, "c:\\tc\\bgi");

   /* read result of initialization */
   errorcode = graphresult();
   if (errorcode != grOk)  /* an error occurred */
   {
      printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));
      printf("Press any key to halt:");
      getch();
      exit(1); /* terminate with an error code */
   }

   left = getmaxx() -getmaxx()+1;
   top = getmaxy()-getmaxy()+1;
   right = getmaxx();
   bottom = getmaxy()-getmaxy()+20;
      /* draw a rectangle */
   rectangle(left,top,right,bottom);
   outtextxy(left+2,top+10,"file name");

   right=getmaxx()/5;

hey why is there a -1 vote??????:?::@:yawn::@

:angry:
please tell me the answer of my question instead of voting stupidly and if you are voting me in negative please tell me the reason too.

graphics.h was a library in the 16 bit world where it is used for doing graphics in DOS with Borland C++ 3.x
(In short it is an old & unsupported library nowadays )

...maybe that's where your problem starts

try using Forger's for making a window

thanks for your response but i have to work with all these stupid and old things that is what my assignment needs. graphics.h and the window function is working properly in all other programs and other functions but is doing problem in given piece of code.:S

Sad to say that's as much help as I can give
I have no experience using that library and my IDE can't use graphics.h anymore so I can't give a better response
try to compare this code with your other programs and carefully check each details or maybe hope that veteran users might give a response to this thread

good luck :cool:
