how to change color in c++ console code example
Example: c++ change console color
WORD color = 0x0F; // White
SetConsoleTextAttribute( GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), FOREGROUND_RED);
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
SetConsoleTextAttribute( GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), color);
// The farbcodes are the same as they, when you type "color help" in the windows
// cmd in. First the number, then the letter (here the output of the cmd):
/* 0 = Black 8 = Gray
1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue
2 = Green A = Light Green
3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua
4 = Red C = Light Red
5 = Purple D = Light Purple
6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow
7 = Light Gray F = White
*/
// So, to get the output white again, you have the set the color to:
// 0x + 0 (Black Background) + F (White Foreground)
// This works on every OS!
