Hi,


Win10 64

One way is use VT100 escape codes for virtual terminal processing - which are now supported for the Windows 10 console.

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences

Windows lets you change the console foreground and background colors.

#include <windows.h>

//  Windows console colors
enum class COLORS : int 
    {   BLACK = 0, 
        DARKBLUE = 1, 
        DARKGREEN = 2, 
        DARKCYAN = 3, 
        DARKRED = 4, 
        DARKMAGENTA = 5, 
        DARKYELLOW = 6,
        WHITE = 7, 
        GREY = 8,
        BLUE = 9, 
        GREEN = 10, 
        CYAN = 11, 
        RED = 12, 
        MAGENTA = 13, 
        YELLOW = 14,
        LIGHTGREY = 15,      
    };

HANDLE              m_handle;

//  Get the handle for the Windows console
    m_handle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

void setConsoleColor (COLORS bgColor, COLORS textColor) 
{   SetConsoleTextAttribute (m_handle, ((int)textColor + ((int)bgColor * 16)));
}
