Print Screen

Is it possible to print the contents on the screen in colour by using the system(); function in stdlib.h header file? I tried to look all over but I can't seem to figure it out.
Thanx in advance.

What? :confused:

No. ANSI C doesn't support graphics so nothing in stdlib.h will support anything special like that. system is used to make the OS execute a command.

If you want to change the color of your text, you need to either use a library to do so, or write video memory directly.

Well c system(); executes commands on command dos.. Well the dos in 2k has a function know as color check it out

so

system("color f" );

but then you are making a dos app which requires windoze to run, and not just windoze, but windoze 2000. about the worst in crossplatform compatibility concievable
