They are not compatible because masm32rt.inc includes these other include files. See the example code below.

In case you don't already know, the console text attributes are the same format as for the old VGA 16-color alphanumeric modes with the default palette. In this format the foreground and background attributes are packed into a byte with the bit assignments as follows:

Bit7 background intensity
Bit6 background red component
Bit5 background green component
Bit4 background blue component
Bit3 foreground intensity
Bit2 foreground red component
Bit1 foreground green component
Bit0 foreground blue component

So instead of using Microsoft's clumsy defines, FOREGROUND_BLUE, FOREGROUND_GREEN, etc, you can simply specify the necessary bits as a number in the range 0-15.   

This code defines a macro to specify the foreground and background attributes that, for the color assignments, works essentially like the BASIC language COLOR statement:

Code Select Expand



color MACRO foreground, background
    mov eax, background
    shl eax, 4
    or eax, foreground
    EXITM <eax>
ENDM

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
.data
    hStdout dd 0
.code
start:
    invoke GetStdHandle,STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE
    mov hStdout, eax
    xor esi, esi
    .WHILE esi < 16
        xor edi, edi
        .WHILE edi < 16
            invoke SetConsoleTextAttribute, hStdout, color(esi,edi)
            printf("X")
            inc edi
        .ENDW
        printf("\n")
        inc esi
    .ENDW
    ; Restore the default attribute (white on black).
    invoke SetConsoleTextAttribute, hStdout, color(7,0)
    printf("\n\n")
    inkey
    exit
end start

If Google is not WOrking, bad luck - you can still use MasmBasic ConsoleColor:

include \masm32\MasmBasic\MasmBasic.inc      ; download
  Init
  ConsoleColor
  Print "This is the standard color (white on black),", CrLf$, "but "
  ConsoleColor cRed, cWhite
  Print "this is red on white, while"
  ConsoleColor cBlue, cGray
  Print "this is blue", CrLf$,"on grey, and"
  ConsoleColor
  Inkey " this is back to white on black"
  Exit
end start

Available colors (see also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319883):
cBlack, cWhite, cGray, cBlue, cGreen, cCyan, cRed, cMagenta, cYellow
cDarkGray, cDarkBlue, cDarkGreen, cDarkCyan, cDarkRed, cDarkMagenta, cDarkYellow

SetConsoleTextAttribute only changes the color for any text displayed after the color change

i thought i posted a routine that sets the colors and clears the screen

ok - maybe that's not what you want

but.....
the colors for future attributes is not the same as the colors in the buffer

[hutch--]

It may also help if you included WINDOWS.INC FIRST as it is designed to be used.
