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

I'm here to prove you wrong.

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