No, you have to simulate a few keystrokes with the Windows API function keybd_event. IIRC:
keybd_event ( VK_MENU, 0, 0, 0 ); keybd_event ( VK_RETURN, 0, 0, 0 ); keybd_event ( VK_RETURN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 ); keybd_event ( VK_MENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 );

This works with Dev-C++ but not with VC++ 6.0 (I think it is a compiler bug)
HWND hWnd = GetConsoleWindow(); ShowWindow(hWnd,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
