Tutorial 5: More about text
Theory: Windows color system is based on RGB values, R = red, G = Green, B = Blue If you want to specify a color in Windows, you must state your desired color in terms of these three major colors Each color value.. HAS a Range from 0 to 255 (a byte value). For example, if You Want Pure Red Color, You Should Use 255,0,0. or if You Want Pure White Color, You Must Use 255,255,255. You can see from the Examples That Getting The Color You NEED IS VERY DIFFCIT with this system since you have to much a good gras.
For Text Color and Background, You Use SetTextColor and SetBkcolor, Both of Them Require A Handle To Device Context and a 32-bit RGB Value. The 32-bit RGB Value's Structure IS Defined AS:
RGB_VALUE STRUCT UNUSED DB 0 Blue DB? Green DB? Red DB? RGB_VALUE ENDS
Note We will create that the first byte is not used and should be zero. The order of the remaining three bytes is reversed, ie. Blue, green, red. However, we will not use this structure since it's cumbersome to initialize and use. A Macro INSTEAD. The Macro Will Receive Three Parameters: Red, Green and Blue Values. It'll Produce The Desired 32-Bit RGB Value and Store IT IN Eax. The Macro IS Follows:
RGB Macro Red, Green, Blue Xor Eax, Eax Mov Ah, Blue SHL EAX, 8 MOV AH, GREEN MOV Al, Red Endm
You can put this macro in the include file for future use You can "create" a font by calling CreateFont or CreateFontIndirect The difference between the two functions is that CreateFontIndirect receives only one parameter:.. A pointer to a logical font structure, LOGFONT. CreateFontIndirect is the more flexible of the two especially if your programs need to change fonts frequently. However, in our example, we will "create" only one font for demonstration, we can get away with CreateFont. After the call to CreateFont, it will Return a Handle to a font Which you must select into the Device Context. After That, Every TEXT API Function Will Use The Font We Have SELECTED INTO The Device Context.content:

CreateFont creates a logical font that is the closest match to the given parameters and the font data available. This function has more parameters than any other function in Windows. It returns a handle to logical font to be used by SelectObject function. We will examine its Parameters in detail.
CreateFont proto nHeight: DWORD, / nWidth: DWORD, / nEscapement: DWORD, / nOrientation: DWORD, / nWeight: DWORD, / cItalic: DWORD, / cUnderline: DWORD, / cStrikeOut: DWORD, / cCharSet: DWORD, / cOutputPrecision: DWORD , / cClipPrecision: DWORD, / cQuality: DWORD, / cPitchAndFamily: DWORD, / lpFacename:... DWORDnHeight The desired height of the characters 0 means use default size nWidth The desired width of the characters Normally this value should be 0 which allows Windows To match the width to the height. hoault width makees the characters hard to read, so i use the width of 16 instead. Nescapement Specifies the Orienta tion of the next character output relative to the previous one in tenths of a degree. Normally, set to 0. Set to 900 to have all the characters go upward from the first character, 1800 to write backwards, or 2700 to write each character from the top down. nOrientation Specifies how much the character should be rotated when output in tenths of a degree. Set to 900 to have all the characters lying on their backs, 1800 for upside-down writing, etc. nWeight Sets the line thickness of each Character. Windows Defines The Following Sizes:
FW_DONTCARE EQU 0
FW_thin EQU 100
FW_EXTRALIGHT EQU 200
FW_ULTRALIGHT EQU 200
FW_Light EQU 300
FW_NORMAL EQU 400
FW_REGULAR EQU 400

FW_DEMIBOLD EQU 600
FW_BOLD EQU 700
FW_EXTRABOLD EQU 800
FW_ULTRABOLD EQU 800
FW_HEAVY EQU 900
FW_BLACK EQU 900
CITALIC 0 for Normal, Any Other Value for Italic Characters.
Cunderline 0 for Normal, Any Other Value for underlined Characters.
CSTRIKEOUT 0 for Normal, Any Other Value for Characters with a line through the center.
.
CoutputPrecision Specifies How much the selected font must be closely matched to the characteristics we want. Normal sale behavior.
cClipPrecision Specifies the clipping precision. The clipping precision defines how to clip characters that are partially outside the clipping region. You should be able to get by with CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS which defines the default clipping behavior.
. CQuality Specifies the output quality The output quality defines how carefully GDI must attempt to match the logical-font attributes to those of an actual physical font There are three choices:. DEFAULT_QUALITY, PROOF_QUALITY and DRAFT_QUALITY.

After we get the handle to the logical font, we must use it to select the font into the device context by calling SelectObject. SelectObject puts the new GDI objects such as pens, brushs, and fonts into the device context to be used by GDI functions . It returns the handle to the replaced object which we should save for future SelectObject call. After SelectObject call, any text output function will use the font we just selected into the device context.RGB 200,200,50 invoke SetTextColor, hdc, eax RGB 0 , 0,255 Invoke SetBkcolor, HDC, EAX
