Increase Font Size Or Bold???

I want to know HOW to increase the font size or to make the font bold. I've searched this forum and all I read was:

"Yes, you can do it."
"No, it's not possible."

Well if you can do it, then HOW do you do it. That's what most of the threads were asking, but people were saying if it actually could be done or not. I want to know HOW to do it, NOT if it CAN be done or not.

by font you mean the text output on console window?

Yes. I'm sorry if I didn't clearly state that.

Thanks for the info, but when I put in:

Code:

---

void CMyConsoleClass::SetTextBold()
{
    // hi-white on black
    SetConsoleTextAttribute ( m_hConsole,
                              FOREGROUND_RED |
                                FOREGROUND_GREEN |
                                FOREGROUND_BLUE |
                                FOREGROUND_INTENSITY );
}

---

it doesn't set anything bold and returns an error:

syntax error before '::' token

Did you create a CMyConsoleClass class?

I'm pretty sure. I want to have certain text bold and other text plain.

Why not check out good ol adrianxw's site on consoles hes the man :)

So somewhere in your source file you have

Code:

---

class CMyConsoleClass {
  public:
    void SetTextBold();
  /* other stuff here */
};

---

If you don't you need to create one.

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

int main( void )
{
    HANDLE m_hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    SetConsoleTextAttribute ( m_hConsole,
                              FOREGROUND_RED |
                              FOREGROUND_GREEN |
                              FOREGROUND_BLUE |
                              FOREGROUND_INTENSITY );

    std::cout << "Whassupp\n";

    SetConsoleTextAttribute ( m_hConsole,
                              BACKGROUND_RED |
                              BACKGROUND_GREEN |
                              BACKGROUND_BLUE );

    std::cout << "I mean, how you doin?\n";

    SetConsoleTextAttribute ( m_hConsole,
                              FOREGROUND_BLUE |
                              FOREGROUND_INTENSITY|
                              BACKGROUND_GREEN|
                              BACKGROUND_INTENSITY);

    std::cout << "Dude, where's my car? DUDE??\n";

    SetConsoleTextAttribute ( m_hConsole,
                              FOREGROUND_RED |
                              FOREGROUND_GREEN |
                              FOREGROUND_BLUE );

    std::cout << "Credit: google, msdn.microsoft.com\n";

    return 0;
}

Thanks for all of your help. I got it working now how I want it to work.
