Don't try and use technology that is no longer supported. Learn to use Windows graphics[^].

Solution 1

Solve? Problem?!

Congratulations! You've been sleeping way too long. Now, try to wake up.

BGI has died at some 20 years ago or so. It was created by Borland, where Object/Turbo/Delphi Pascal and Delphi, major predecessor of .NET, were created, but BGI was never anything good. Even it 1987, what it was born:

Forget it like a nightmare and never remember.

Especially after being so wrong. I, for example, do.

Oh, I can see, Solution 3 provides appropriate reference.
I hope, it satisfies your interest in software development, for a while.
And, after that, you may take interest in some alternatives: DirectX, .NET, multiplarform GTK+...
There is a lot of stuff...

I asked for solution not for a replacement.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 26-Jan-13 5:16am

Can you follow a simple logic?
Enough for me, sorry...

ghosh arnab 26-Jan-13 5:19am

What?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 26-Jan-13 5:24am

:-)

ghosh arnab 26-Jan-13 4:59am

That's good. Please give solution decent man.

I am interested in .NET

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 26-Jan-13 5:18am

For such interest, I should be not that rude. Why would I help more? You won't even say thank you; probably you cannot. Please, read 9,646 of my answers; most of them about .NET. Or don't, it's up to you...

If something i got helpful then i say thanks,i don't find anything helpful in your previous posts so why should i say thanks..

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 26-Jan-13 5:24am

Asking question also requires some prerequisites. Forget it. You are no "helpable", sorry. Nothing personal.
And please, let's stop at this point; I don't want to loose patience... :-)
