color

Hi, I'm using microsoft visual c++ and I was wonderig if anyone knows how to change the color of individual characters in an array .... if anyone can help, great!!!!!

Yes there is let me see if i can dig out an old program i have around here somewhere...

Well first off you need to include windows.h in the includes (where else would you put them? lol)

Well i cant find my files but here is a link...

After doing some Google searches it has kinda come back to me a little bit. Try this and just mess around with stuff til you figure it out :D

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    //setup some stuff
    HANDLE hConsole;
    hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, FOREGROUND_RED);
    cout<<"Red\n";
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, FOREGROUND_BLUE);
    cout<<"Blue\n";
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, FOREGROUND_GREEN);
    cout<<"Green\n";
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, 15);
    cout<<"There are a ton of ways to manipulate colors, give em a try!\n\n";
    cin.get();
}

You can also try this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    HANDLE hConsole;
    hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    for(int i=0; i<255; i++)
    {
        SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, i);
        cout<<"There are a ton of different combinations!!!\n";
    }
    cin.get();
}

Have fun!
