Text Color?

[Jperensky]

Is it possible to set text colors in c, and if so how can I do it?

-Thanks Much-

There is no ANSI standard to display colored text. This is implementation specific and will be different based on your compiler and operating system combination.

#include <conio.h> /*Contains text colors */

main()
{
textcolor( BLUE ); /*change text color to blue */
cprintf("Hello World"); /*Will print out Hello world in blue*/
textbackground( GREEN ); /*background color is green*/
textcolor( RED ); /*change text to red*/
cprintf("\nHello Again");/*Will have a background green and color of red*/
}

Edit the header file conio.h to see what colors you can choose.

[Prelude]

main() 
{ 
  textcolor( BLUE ); /*change text color to blue */ 
  cprintf("Hello World"); /*Will print out Hello world in blue*/ 
  textbackground( GREEN ); /*background color is green*/ 
  textcolor( RED ); /*change text to red*/ 
  cprintf("\nHello Again");/*Will have a background green and color of red*/ 
}

At least you didn't use void main, but all of those functions are nonstandard and I have yet to see a non-Borland compiler have textcolor or textbackground. Believe me when I say that nonstandard should be avoided when possible and used only when necessary.

Is there any function in VC++ 6.0 (on Win98) for changing text color?

Oh boy, there must be hundreds of threads about this, probably thousands.
I posted some code the other day, HERE

Sorry for the stupid question and thank you for your answer.
