Unless you are writting a Windows Console app. Then those codes work when plugged into FillConsoleOutputAttribute(stdout, color, n, c, &written ); FillConsoleOutputCharacter(stdout, s, n, c, &written ); But, if you are writting GUI, then you want the line drawing api. Probably MoveToEx() and LineTo() .
