When working with a console application, how can i control the size and
background color of the console window programmatically?
thanks,
 
There was an article (maybe a year ago) on VSM (formerly VBPJ) that covered
this. Try searching the archives @ devx.com

PInvoke(s). A console, is a console, is a console. And a Windows NT/XP
console is a very cool console indeed. Just look up the Windows API
references for the console and you'll get everything you need if you can't
find the pre-canned code up at devx.

There's an article on codeproject which creates a new console (for a windows
app) which you then have much more control over. It's not strictly a
console app any more, but it would look pretty similar to a user.
