Thread: Colored Text

I think it is in the FAQ.

The only way I know of is the windows.h function, SetConsoleTextAttribute.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Function:
BOOL SetConsoleTextAttribute(HANDLE hConsoleOutput, WORD wAttributes)

Header File: windows.h

Parameters:
HANDLE hConsoleOutput - A handle to the window's screen buffer.
WORD wAttributes - The foreground/background color/intensity.

Example use:

Code:

// The handle to the screen buffer
HANDLE stdOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
// This will make green text on a blue background
SetConsoleTextAttribute(stdOut, FOREGROUND_GREEN | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY |BACKGROUND_BLUE | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY);

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope that helps!
