I want to size my console windows at the start of the program, so i first set the buffer size for this. But i can't seem to find what function will size the window to the size of the buffer. I used GetLargestConsoleWindowSize() but it do nothing.

I used that to set the screen buffer before i resize the windows. I can set the buffer size but not resize the windows and MSDN can't answer me corectly and i hate that docs :(

If you can't find a function here that described what you want to do, then it might not be possible. Happy hunting!
