Hello I'm looking for some screen resolution testers to see if the screen will change sizes for you or if you have to go and change your properties settings. The screen should first be big to where the numbers are just shy from hitting the edge the it will resize back to the original size with the same results

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
   HWND console = GetConsoleWindow();
   RECT r;
   GetWindowRect(console, &r);

    MoveWindow(console, r.left, r.top, 1024, 768, true);
   
   for (int i = 0; i < 65; i++)
   {
      std::cout<< i;
   }
   std::cout<< "\n";
   
   for (int i = 1; i < 58; i++)
   {
      std::cout<< i << "\n";
   }

    Sleep(5000);
   system("cls");
   
   
   MoveWindow(console, r.left, r.top, r.right - r.left, r.bottom - r.top, true);

   for (int i = 0; i < 44; i++)
   {
      std::cout<< i;
   }

   std::cout<< "\n";
   for (int i = 1; i < 24; i++)
   {
      std::cout<< i << "\n";
   }
   

}


if it doesn't get bigger than you would have to right click on the top of the command prompt window and click on properties and click on the layout tab and change the screen buffer size to something like 200 x 100. give me some replies if it worked for you without having to change your settings or if you had to

thanks

Nice, the window was larger but it only stayed at athat size then closed. I'll try to post an update to this, but I think those settings can only be changed once, (when windows calls it) and not during program execution. or maybe not, I'll take a look

I was using sleep for 5 seconds and yes you can change it to different sizes. I just had to adjust the properties on my PC first to get it to work

the bottom command will change it back to default size


this one should be self explanatory

Code: Select all

MoveWindow(console, r.left, r.top, 1024, 768, true);


default

Code: Select all

MoveWindow(console, r.left, r.top, r.right - r.left, r.bottom - r.top, true);
