Visual C 6.0 Highlight Current Line is.

Dev C++ Current Line Colors
Return value
Type: DWORD
The function returns the red, green, blue (RGB) color value of the given element.
If the nIndex parameter is out of range, the return value is zero. Because zero is also a valid RGB value, you cannot useGetSysColor to determine whether a system color is supported by the current platform. Instead, use theGetSysColorBrush function, which returns NULL if the color is not supported.
Dev C++ Current Line Coloring Page
Remarks
To display the component of the RGB value, use the GetRValue, GetGValue, and GetBValue macros.
Where d - device file to be created under /dev. Where dev is variable for the first device number that is initialized during the usage of allocchrdevregion API for dynamic allocation of major number for the driver. C create dev file in module.
System colors for monochrome displays are usually interpreted as shades of gray.
To paint with a system color brush, an application should use GetSysColorBrush(nIndex), instead ofCreateSolidBrush(GetSysColor(nIndex)), because GetSysColorBrush returns a cached brush, instead of allocating a new one.
Color is an important visual element of most user interfaces. For guidelines about using color in your applications, see Color.
