Changing font style and color of text in C

bigKIDmarie · 07-30-2006, 02:56 AM

The text color and font is the same throughout the whole exe file. How can I call library and change them?
I want to set the given numbers to red in a sudoku.

P.S. Are there any online sudoku source codes in C?
Thank you.

Well that would depend on your OS / Compiler and project type (none of which you state).
In the meantime, try the FAQ

Have you tried google?

Does this code change color of all the text? Can I change color of certain words only?
Thank you

When I compile the following code, an error occurs.
I use Dev-C++. Does this software have the library conio.h?
Thank you.

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

int main ( void )
{
textcolor ( MAGENTA );
cprintf ( "This is a test\n" );

return 0;
}

Thanks MDofRockyView, I have done this but an error occurs. My Dev-c++ doesn't say what error it is...

Scroll down the FAQ to where it describes the Win32 console API functions.

conio is a hack for backward compatibility with DOS.

Oh, and be more specific than "an error occurs".
Paste error messages.
