Colored output on console

[abubakar]

Hi all,

in vc++ 2k5 (all native, no clr) can I color my output. All I know right now
to output things are through printf and cout, but they just display output
in the default colors. Is there anything that would support colored fonts
output?

Thanks,

...ab

There is not a portable way. Under Windows you should use
SetConsoleTextAttribute. For more details take a look to:
