Changing Text Color

If you want to change the color of text in console windows without using graphic then you can use this code in codeblock.


#include <windows.h> // Header file for windows
#include <stdio.h>      // C standard library
void SetColor(int ForgC);
int main(){
     SetColor(34);
     printf("test clour");
     return 0;
}
void SetColor(int ForgC){
     WORD wColor; // We will need this handle to get the current background attribute
     HANDLE hStdOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
     CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi; // We use csbi for the wAttributes word.
     if(GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdOut, &csbi)){ // Mask out all but the background attribute, and add in the forgournd color
          wColor = (csbi.wAttributes & 0xF0) + (ForgC & 0x0F);
          SetConsoleTextAttribute(hStdOut, wColor);
     }
     return;
}
