TextBackground

[This procedure has changed from its original DOS version.]

Selects the background color.

procedure TextBackground(
  Color: integer
);

Parameters

Color

[in] The new background color.

Remarks

Color is an integer expression in the range 0..7, corresponding to one of the first eight text color constants. There is a byte variable in Crt, TextAttr, that is used to hold the current video attribute. TextBackground sets bits 4-6 of TextAttr to Color.

The background of all characters subsequently written will be in the specified color.

The Delphi version of TextBackground takes an integer rather than a byte.
