[RESOLVED] about WriteConsoleOutput() and WriteConsoleOutputAttribute() functions

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ter_attributes

You need to be able to find your way around microsoft's msdn web site. There are loads of stuff on there re development. It would often be quicker to try searching there rather than posting a question here.

I use these extra definitions

#define FOREGROUND_WHITE		(FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_BLUE | FOREGROUND_GREEN)
#define FOREGROUND_YELLOW		(FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_GREEN)
#define FOREGROUND_CYAN			(FOREGROUND_BLUE | FOREGROUND_GREEN)
#define FOREGROUND_MAGENTA		(FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_BLUE)
#define FOREGROUND_BLACK		0

#define FOREGROUND_INTENSE_RED	        (FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define FOREGROUND_INTENSE_GREEN	(FOREGROUND_GREEN | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define FOREGROUND_INTENSE_BLUE	        (FOREGROUND_BLUE | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define FOREGROUND_INTENSE_WHITE	(FOREGROUND_WHITE | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define FOREGROUND_INTENSE_YELLOW	(FOREGROUND_YELLOW | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define FOREGROUND_INTENSE_CYAN	        (FOREGROUND_CYAN | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define FOREGROUND_INTENSE_MAGENTA	(FOREGROUND_MAGENTA | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY)

#define BACKGROUND_WHITE		(BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_BLUE | BACKGROUND_GREEN)
#define BACKGROUND_YELLOW		(BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_GREEN)
#define BACKGROUND_CYAN	        	(BACKGROUND_BLUE | BACKGROUND_GREEN)
#define BACKGROUND_MAGENTA		(BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_BLUE)
#define BACKGROUND_BLACK		0

#define BACKGROUND_INTENSE_RED   	(BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define BACKGROUND_INTENSE_GREEN	(BACKGROUND_GREEN | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define BACKGROUND_INTENSE_BLUE	        (BACKGROUND_BLUE | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define BACKGROUND_INTENSE_WHITE	(BACKGROUND_WHITE | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define BACKGROUND_INTENSE_YELLOW	(BACKGROUND_YELLOW | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define BACKGROUND_INTENSE_CYAN	        (BACKGROUND_CYAN | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY)
#define BACKGROUND_INTENSE_MAGENTA	(BACKGROUND_MAGENTA | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY)

i can find the functions(sometimes are dificulty to understand them) but the rest is more complicated.
thanks for all.
see these line:
SMALL_RECT c={x,y,x+tlen,y+(SHORT)1};
strange.. i get 2 warning about types and i don't understand why

"warning: narrowing conversion of '(((int)x) + ((int)tlen))' from 'int' to 'SHORT {aka short int}' inside { } [-Wnarrowing]|"
but tlen is SHORT: SHORT tlen = (SHORT)p->Text.length();

resolved:

SMALL_RECT c={x, y,SHORT(x+tlen),SHORT(y+1)};

seems the '+' operator put them to 'int', that's why i must use SHORT like a function(the casting don't works)
thanks for all
