    Text Colors

    Hi!

    I know that the WINAPI has macros for the foreground and background colors. But if I enter a number say 213 then I get a combination of two colors.

    My question is how many different colors can I get in a console mode program?
    Current projects:
    1) User Interface Development Kit (C++)
    2) HTML SDK (C++)
    3) Classes (C++)
    4) INI Editor (Delphi)

    In text mode, 16. See the constants defined in conio.h for each color.
