Hello everyone.
Below is a little runt of a program that I have been fidiling with in
order to learn the <conio.h> fuctions. But I cannot figure out why it
doesn't work the way I want it to.
The ClrScr() command seems to do nothing at all in the program despite
INFO help stating that it clears the screen. Also, even if I set the
textcolor() and textbackground(), The existing screen attributes take
priority over the colors I set.....
Does DJGPP handle CONIO differently than in other dos compilers, or am I
in error?
Thanks in advance.....
-- Start of source --
#include <conio.h>
void main(void)
{
int xcount;
int ycount;
char *background_character;
background_character = "_"; // char 176
for (xcount=1;xcount<81;xcount++)
for (ycount=1; ycount<26; ycount++)
{
textcolor(6);
textbackground(0);
//cprintf("%i,%i\n\r",xcount,ycount);
gotoxy(xcount,ycount);
putchar(*background_character);
};
textcolor(15);
textbackground(0);
clrscr;
window (10,5,70,20);
textcolor(15);
textbackground(4);
clrscr();
cprintf(" ERROR!!!!! ILLEGAL REGISTRATION CODE!!!! \n\r");
getkey();
}
