Printing inside window, not on borders

Question

I\'m trying to write something inside a curses window, but it seems to write on borders too. How can I fix the code below?

win_self = newwin(LINES / 2, COLS, 0,          


        

Answer 1

I'd say the easiest way is to create a window inside of the window borders and print in that window.

win_self = newwin(LINES / 2, COLS, 0, 0);
box(win_self, 0, 0);
derwin_self = derwin(win_self, LINES / 2 - 2, COLS - 2, 0, 0);
wprintw(derwin_self, "foobar");
