I am learning C++ right now, and I am using Visual Studio .Net. My question is this, I am trying to find out what functions are available in C++ that I can use for a timer, and ways I can change text color in console apps. My problem is I am not sure where to look. I have tried MSDN libraries, but when I make a search on say timer functions it bring up a bunch of stuff that I don't really understand. Maybe I need to search in a specifc are, but not sure where to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a ton,
Chris
