How set fullscreen under win 2000 pro(console)?
 

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

                        //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?

Get DOS and use Mode 13h, lol ;)

You have to get the max console size, then use SetConsoleDisplayMode()

edit: Actually I think you need WinXP for it, sorry.

Nope. The usual suggested solution is to programmatically simulate Alt+Enter. I do believe that searching our forums will give you the code to do so.

tanx =D

void FullScreen(){



    keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0x38, 0, 0);

    keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0x1c, 0, 0);

    keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0x1c, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);

    keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0x38, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);        

        

}// F FullScreen

i dont have idea of what are those parameters, but it works

Read the doc instead of copying code that you even don't understand.
