[RESOLVED] clear the console

i'm see the console functions, but i can't find the right function for clear the console:(

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx

instead use: "system("cls");"

any advice?

resolved:

Code:

---

//clear the Console
        void Clear()
        {
                // home for the cursor
      COORD coordScreen = {0, 0};
      DWORD cCharsWritten;
      CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
      DWORD dwConSize;
   
      // Get the number of character cells in the current buffer
      if(!GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), &csbi))
            return;
      dwConSize = csbi.dwSize.X * csbi.dwSize.Y;
   
      // Fill the entire screen with blanks
      if(!FillConsoleOutputCharacter(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), (WCHAR)' ', dwConSize, coordScreen, &cCharsWritten))
            return;
   
      // Get the current text attribute.
      if(!GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), &csbi))
            return;
   
      // Set the buffer's attributes accordingly.
      if(!FillConsoleOutputAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), csbi.wAttributes, dwConSize, coordScreen, &cCharsWritten))
            return;
   
      // Put the cursor at its home coordinates.
      SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coordScreen);
        }
