would it be hard to make program
like :
theres a window
of normal program
some texts:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and activate button
and when i click alt + (some key) the text goes red
and the activate button when u click on it u need to put a specific key,after it activated i can do alt + X and the text turns red
is it hard to do such thing?
Without knowing your particular level of experience, it is hard to say. I'm guessing that you are a beginner so my answer would be: yes, it would be hard for you. Tell us more about your experience and we might be able to guide you a bit better. In order to produce such a program you would need to have a good grasp of programming basics and knowledge of the Win32 API (assuming that you are using a Windows system).
No No's:
fflush (stdin); gets (); void main ();

Example of fgets (); The FAQ, C/C++ Reference

Could this be done easier with the Allegro graphics library? that'll allow him to avoid all that tricky windows API stuff.
Without being familiar with the Allegro library, I would have to say that it should be possible to implement some form of program that completes this task using a graphics library, but I got the impression that the OP wanted something like a typical windows GUI, which might not be as easy with a graphics library since things like buttons may have to be defined, and there still needs to be some way of reading the keyboard values.
From the Allegro Introduction:
[edit]If you are a total beginner to C programming, Allegro won't help you much. As a C library (C stands for the name of a programming language), Allegro presumes you know how to write C programs, compile and link them to produce executables. Sorry, you will have to learn how to do that first.
I would add that the same is very much true of the Win32 API.
