C program to Change the Text Background Color

C program to Change the Text Background Color

Few important points regarding this program are:

• SetConsoleTextAttribute: Sets the attributes of characters written to the console screen buffer by the WriteFile or WriteConsole function, or echoed by the ReadFile or ReadConsole function.
• This function affects text written after the function call.
• Syntax:

  BOOL WINAPI SetConsoleTextAttribute(_In_ HANDLE hConsoleOutput , _In_ WORD wAttributes);

Below is the program for changing text background color.

#include<windows.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("\n\n\t\tC program example\n\n\n");

    //BACKGROUND_RED| BACKGROUND_GREEN| BACKGROUND_BLUE| BACKGROUND_INTENSITY
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),BACKGROUND_BLUE|BACKGROUND_RED|BACKGROUND_INTENSITY);
    printf("\n\nHere is the c program to show how to put colors to your code!!");

    SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),BACKGROUND_GREEN);
    printf("\n\nIsn't this Awesome?");

    SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),BACKGROUND_INTENSITY|BACKGROUND_RED);
    printf("\n\nYou just did something that only 1 out of 10 coders are familiar of :)\n");

    SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),BACKGROUND_GREEN|BACKGROUND_INTENSITY);
    printf("\n\nYou are doing great!!");

    SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),BACKGROUND_BLUE|BACKGROUND_INTENSITY);
    printf("\n\nThe best is yet to come!");

    SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),BACKGROUND_GREEN|BACKGROUND_INTENSITY);
    printf("\n\nWhat are you waiting for?? Just play with it!!");

    return 0;
}
