2 Simple Questions

[absalom]

Umm... Guys

I have two questions

First:

I have created a VC++ dos program How do I change the title of the dos window

Second:

How do I make that same window Fullscreen

Thanks

I'm not sure about your first question, but for the fullscreen here you go:

// setconsolemode9x.cpp (Windows 95/98) 
// 
// This example will show how you can switch console application 
// to the full-screen mode on Windows 95/98.

#include <windows.h> 
#include <stdio.h> 

#define ID_SWITCH_CONSOLEMODE 0xE00F 

void main(int argc, char* argv[]) 
{ 
if (argc<2) 
{ 
printf("Usage:\n\nsetconsolemode9x.exe hWnd\n"); 
return; 
} 

HWND hWnd; 
sscanf(argv[1],"%lx",&hWnd); 

if (!IsWindow(hWnd)) 
{ 
printf("Incorrect window handle\n"); 
return; 
} 

SendMessage(hWnd,WM_COMMAND,ID_SWITCH_CONSOLEMODE,0); 
}

Hope that helps.

Answer the first question?

Yeah here it is:

You can use the "SetConsoleTitle" function to set
the caption of the console window.

Code:

RetVal = SetConsoleTitle("Point of Sales System") ;



Here is a list of console functions

The following functions used to manipulate a console.

AllocConsole

FillConsoleOutputAttribute
FillConsoleOutputCharacter
FlushConsoleInputBuffer
FreeConsole
GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent
GetConsoleCP
GetConsoleCursorInfo
GetConsoleMode
