Colors in the Console using C
Posted by Mycroft [send private reply] at March 09, 2002, 08:00:11 PM
I'm working on a console program and want to use different colored text and backgrounds. I know how to make red, blu, green, orange, purple, black, and white with CHAR_INFO attributes but can I make other colors too? If so how?

You can make custon colors using RGB(). An easy way to remember is Red Green Blue (RGB) :). you enter a number for each color ex: RGB(255,0,0) = all red.

How do I use the RGB() function to change colors, do I put it in the CHAR_INFO attributes?
screenBuffer[counter].Attributes = RGB(255,0,0); <-WOULD THIS WORK

I've never used the CHAR_INFO attributes but you would put it where you would put the color.

I don't think that that is native C code, you must be using some kind of a graphics library, in which case Mycroft would have no idea what you are talking about.
