Shadowed window effect in DOS

I'm trying to create a shadowed window effect in dos, but it is not coming out right....here is what I have so far...

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

void main()
{
textmode(3); textattr(15 + (8<<4)); clrscr();
window(16,6,66,21);
textattr(15 + (0<<4));
clrscr();
window(15,5,65,20);
textmode(3); textattr(15 + (1<<4));
clrscr();


while(!kbhit());

}

As you can see...the first command sets the entire background to a dark gray color. Then it creates a window and sets it's background to black. It works till there. After that it creates a new window and the background is supposed to be blue but it is coming up black. Does anyone know what I did wrong????

You forgot code tags

And you forgot too, that it's incorrect to use void main(), void only returns int, so change it to int main() and return an integer value at the end.

>> void only returns int

I'm sure Vber meant "main only returns an int"

OK, sorry about the code tags. Didn't read that till after I typed it. This program is for a class and our teacher is having us use void main() instead of int main().....I too think this is very stupid, but I have to follow orders or fail.

>>Does anyone know what I did wrong????

Nothing when icompile this it works fine. Although i dont really understand why u first draw everything gray (with black window) to set it all blue afterwards.....

Mayb u should try to compile your code and hmm ill just give an example.

Code:

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

int main()
{


	textmode(3);
	textattr(15 + (8<<4));
	clrscr();
	window(16,6,66,21);
	/*
	textattr(15 + (0<<4));
	clrscr();
	window(15,5,65,20);
	textmode(3);
	textattr(15 + (1<<4));
	clrscr();
	while(!kbhit());
	*/
	return 0;
}

Try to do the same thing just put some /* and */ in ur code to see where it goes wrong with you. Because if i hadnt done it this way i would never have seen that there was a black window and grey background be4 the blue window.

And according to my compiler reference: clrscr, window and textattr arent really portable.
