I have an old application using ANSI-escape sequences to display input and outputfields on a screen. I have to revive this without rewriting it working under XP. As the application gathers all info HOW to display the fields separated from actually displaying it I only have to change ONE module in order being able to handle about a 100 different 'screens'.
So I have a look at Console using C# and indeed I can size the console (mimicing the old 24*80 characterdispla ys) display the required fields using different colors and retrieve input as well, but to me the size is just too small because most people now are used to have their monitors (far) larger resolutions and no longer 640*480. So I would like to create a console with a larger fontsize in order to achieve a larger consolewindow . Is this possible (programmatical ly)?
If anyone has an alternative : please let me know.
