Expanding Command Prompt
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home
Thread Solved |
Is there a system command that I can use with system("x") to expand the prompt the program is in?
Or any other way of doing it, for that matter, I just need to get it to be the size it would be if I told the computer to maximize it, basically, I'm just going for half the screen.

This question has been asked and answered millions of times. Click here.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
The google search you posted did not have anything related to programming. Do you think I'm an idiot? I googled the question before asking on this forum, and returned nothing, and neither did the search you posted, if it has been asked and answered so many times, why can't you provide the answer quickly, instead of giving me vague information?

PS: Are you, maybe, talking about the command window -- not the prompt?

Sorry if I was a bit rude, I did mean the window, although in my mind the window is basically a prompt, the reason I was asking about the system command is because I was hoping there was a simple DOS command built-in that would allow me to change the window.
Could you explain the function a little more, I was mainly confused on the parameters needed.

If you are on Windows, then you can use SetConsoleWindowInfo

A little easier one to use is ShowWindow() Get the first parameter by calling GetConsoleWindow()
