turbo c++ question:text input in graphics mode

I have a question... how i can get input from the user in graphics mode. I want the cursor placed directly after "Enter number here: " but I'm not able to do that using cin. even the gotoxy statement doesnt work in graphics mode. Is there any other function i should use?

Also how can i display the number using outtextxy...it takes only string as argument?

Here is my code: 
#include
#include
#include

int main()
{
int num;
int gd=DETECT, gm;
initgraph(&gd,&gm,"c:\\tc\\bgi");
settextstyle(1,0,2);
outtextxy(100,100,"Enter number");
cin>>num;
outtextxy(100,200," The number is: ");
cout<

    I see....
    I have created a function in c++ which can be used to take input in graphics mode.

    If you want that please contact me on my email id. I will send you.
