I'm trying to hide a console window from within the console app itselft.

I thought it would be as easy as moving it out of the visible area using 
SetConsoleWindowInfo(), but when trying to set it to be outside, I'm getting 
error code:

87 The parameter is incorrect. ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

Anyone know if it is possible to hide "your own" console window - this way 
or any other way?

Thanks!
