I'm creating a simple game with my friend that runs in the Terminal/Command Prompt window, but I would like to know how to change the color of the entire window via C++. I'm on a Mac, but my friend is on a Windows, so I need to a solution that is portable, if possible.
I've tried using a printf statement to change the color, but it only changes the background color of the text being printed.
Okay, I have a form and I have a tab control thing. On the second tab, I have a button which is supposed to turn the background green.
So, I have this:
#pragma endregion
private: System::Void greenButton_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
this ->BackColor = System::Drawing::Color::Green;
But clearly that just turns the FORMS background green. How can I change the TAB background to green.
I am working on this project where I need to update an edit box every couple of seconds with a status and based on the status I need to change the color of the background to a particular color.I am able to update the edit box with the status but is clueless on how to update background color.I have read some info on line about this but is confused.This edit box is on a tab in a dialog. Also, on this tab is a Groupable List Ctrl.

Is there a way to do this? is there a certain function? ...
Here is my code:
#include <graphics.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main() {
int gdriver = DETECT, gmode, errorcode,i;
initgraph(&gdriver, &gmode, "c:cgi");
errorcode = graphresult();
[Code] ....
Here is what I did,
Code:
oldHook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROCRET, CallWndRetProc, NULL, ::GetCurrentThreadId());
MessageBox(...);
UnhookWindowsHookEx(oldHook);
Then within the callback function CallWndRetProc, I tried to change the background color of the dialog,
Code:
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc = BeginPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
::SetBkColor(hdc, RGB(255, 0, 0));
EndPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
But it doesn't change the background color of the dialog. I wonder what is the right way to do that?
I have a derived CComboBox class, where I tried to change text and background of edit from CComboBox, just like this:
Code:
HBRUSH CMyComboBox::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) {
HBRUSH hbr = CComboBox::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
//if(CTLCOLOR_EDIT == nCtlColor || CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX == nCtlColor) {
[Code] ......
but is not working if CComboBox has CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style ... is working only for CBS_DROPDOWN style ... why ?

I want to have an animated background for my games logon screen. However sprite sheets only support an image size of 2048x2048. So my question is sense the background is 640,480. Would it be logical to use a video as the background and draw GUI components over the drawn video frame?

My task is to change the background of the app so that every time I open the app I get a different background image and every minute the background image changes.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI made 2 forms and Form2 has buttons with images like planets and game wallpapers etc. When I write the code for button:
this.BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(Properties.Resources._8_8008_by_amplifier404);
this.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch;
// where _8_8008_by_amplifier404 is name of the image located in resources
It only changes background in form which has those buttons as long the form is used. Once I go back to form1 it's changed to null. How to set background in all forms with a button click which will be there until another button with an image is clicked.

Alright so I'm in a computer programming class and I was given the following problem..Write a problem that takes an integer value and multiplies each of the digits together. 4 digit numbers only.
IE; What number do you want to process? 2684
Starting number 2684
End result 384
I know how to start the begging of the program, but i dont understand how to have it to where you can type in all four digits and then it will multiply each number by the other. Also, what are some ways to change the color scheme of the program? I know how it works using CMD, but in Visual C++ its totally different aha.
