Using GetPixel() -problems with output

Hi. I'm using getpixel quite a bit and I'm having problems outputting text to the console window. For example:


HDC hdcDesktop2= GetDC(NULL);
	COLORREF clr,clr2,clr3,clr4,clr5,clr6,clr7,clr8,clr9,clr10,clr11,clr12,
		clr13,clr14,clr15,clr16,clr17,clr18,clr19;




    // Check if your get pixel call will succeed.
    if (GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 100, 100) == CLR_INVALID) {
        printf("Get pixel error!\n");
        return 0;
    }

    clr = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 255+gtrans, 172+htrans); // 
    clr2 = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 254+gtrans, 169+htrans);
    clr3 = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 252+gtrans, 167+htrans);
    clr4 = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 249+gtrans, 166+htrans);
    clr5 = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 251+gtrans, 169+htrans);
    clr6 = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 249+gtrans, 171+htrans);
    clr7 = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 249+gtrans, 175+htrans);
    clr8 = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 251+gtrans, 178+htrans);
    clr9 = GetPixel(hdcDesktop2, 252+gtrans, 176+htrans);
   
ReleaseDC(NULL,hdcDesktop2);

cout<<clr9;

cin.get();  ////won't print to screen without this command

Without the cin.get(), I don't get any output to the screen for some reason. This is only one small portion of my code. Is it possible that due to some loops in code above this code I didn't release a device context and so that is why I'm not getting the output ?

I would guess that the cin.get( ) call causes an output buffer flush. Thus to get things working how you want you need to use std::endl like so:

std::cout << clr9 << std::endl;
Thanks. Do you know what Include I use or what I put at the top? I'm getting errors using MSVC++ 6.0 . It says:


error C2653: 'std' : is not a class or namespace name
Nevermind. Got it working thanks to you !!! Thanks man.

This turned out to be the winner for me:

cout <<clr17<<"\n"<< endl;


The endl at the end made it spit the output to the screen. Thanks. I think you gave me some MFC code but its all good thanks dude.
