console window size
Author
Well I've been searching but I can't seem to find a way to change the default console size so I can have a bigger console window in my program. Anyone point me in the right direction?
The only thing I found in MSDN was some System::Console::SetWindowSize(x,y) but that doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using visual studio .net 2003.
I have used the
I did it like this:
I was using the VC++ 2005 Express beta1.
Also, what size did you set it too? I think if you make it too big it might not actually change size.

That's a .NET call. SiCrane provided the Win32 equivalent.

any help setting up the arguments for SetConsoleScreenBufferSize()? I don't know handles or COORDS...I'm still quite the newb. I just want to make the window taller so more lines fit.

well i got it to work but it doesnt change the window size, just the buffer size... I want to stretch the viewable area to like 50 lines height instead of the default 25.

ok I got it.
SetConsoleScreenBufferSize() sets the size of the buffer.
SetConsoleWindowInfo() sets the window size but cannot exceed the buffer size.
Makes sense now. I'm getting better at this stuff :D
Thanks for all the help.
