Prototype

void highvideo(void);

Description

Selects high-intensity characters.

highvideo selects high-intensity characters by setting the high-intensity bit of the currently selected foreground color.

This function does not affect any characters currently onscreen, but does affect those displayed by functions (such as cprintf) that perform direct video, text mode output after highvideo is called.

Note: Do not use this function in Win32 GUI applications.

Return Value

None.

Example

#include <conio.h>
int main(void)
{
clrscr();
lowvideo();
cprintf("Low Intensity text\r\n");
highvideo();
gotoxy(1,2);
cprintf("High Intensity Text\r\n");
return 0;
}
