How to have a text which is in highlight form

[novzzz]

hello...
does anyone know how to highlight the text in c++?


i only use:
textcolor and textbackground

and i want my text in highlight form..
what will i do to make it?

What library are you using for text coloring (I'm assuming this is console programming)? That's going to make an impact on how you're going to change the highlighting color.

im just using Windows XP for this turbo c++

can u show me what kind of code will i use to make my text in highlight form when i print it?

[wasabi]

Are you using any special #include 's? Anything other than, I don't know, stdio, iostream, etc?

Because if you're not, then you're stuck with the console and it's beautiful black-and-white display. And when you say "textcolor and textbackground," do you mean the things in the Properties page of your compiler? Because that's probably just the color of the code you write, not the color of the stuff you print on the screen while the program is running.

this is the code i have done..
but i really don't know how could i make my text in highlight form..



#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<dos.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int x,y,z,a,n,o,m,c,d;

{
//first line upper
for(y=15;y<=64;y++)
{
gotoxy(y,x=5);
textbackground(4);
cout<<"_";
delay(50);
}
}
//second line right side
{
for(z=6;z<=20;z++)
{
gotoxy(x=65,z);

{
gotoxy(m,x=20);

You need to set the background color to something other than black. Use the TextAttributes variable or the SetBkColor() function (I think, look it up in your documentation).

Hope this helps.
