Short answer is: just forget it, this is obsolete and bad stuff, used long time ago when there was too little graphics codes available.

Solution 1

I suppose you are asking about BGI graphics.
BGI is obsolete (it was part of Borland Turbo C/C++).
As far as I know you have two options:

Run turbo C/C++ using an emulation tool (like DOSBox[^]).
Forget about it a use Windows graphics libraries (like GDI or GDI+).

Yes, it looks like the BGI; my 5 for the answer.
I would highly recommend the option #2.
Borland Turbo were great products, especially Turbo Pascal, but BGI was never anything serious even what it wasn't obsolete... and now getting back to if finally lost any sense.

in visual studio 2010 , what i can do ??

if you stick with VS2010 then, as suggested, you're going to have to rewrite your application using windows GDI(+) calls, as a windows application

how rewrite appliction using GDI ????????????

You may find many many GDI tutorials on the web. A wise usage of Google is all that you need.

Makes no sense at all. And, as I can see from your other question, right now this is well beyond your skills. You need to learn the basics of the language and programming. If you do and practice way more simple development, you will be able to get back to this topic fairly soon.

Good luck,
