How set fullscreen under win 2000 pro(console)?

Nov 21st, 2008

Hi, i was tring to figure how set display mode to fullscreen under win2000, i saw at msdn that theres a SetConsoleDisplayMode, but that is for winXP +..

I tried

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
 
			//sets the console window
			//to fullscreen
void FullScreen(){
 
	HANDLE consolehandle;
 
	int sysmetrics_x=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXFULLSCREEN);//get full width
	int sysmetrics_y=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYFULLSCREEN);//get full height
 
	COORD full_size;
		full_size.X= sysmetrics_x;
		full_size.Y= sysmetrics_y;
 
	consolehandle=GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
 
	SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(consolehandle, full_size);
 
}// F FullScreen
			//sets the console window
			//to fullscreen
void FullScreen(){

	HANDLE consolehandle;

	int sysmetrics_x=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXFULLSCREEN);//get full width
	int sysmetrics_y=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYFULLSCREEN);//get full height

	COORD full_size;
		full_size.X= sysmetrics_x;
		full_size.Y= sysmetrics_y;

	consolehandle=GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

	SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(consolehandle, full_size);
	
}// F FullScreen

But that really doesn't set fullscreen mode...
o.o theres a special function for it?
