SetConsoleScreenBufferSize
The SetConsoleScreenBufferSize
function changes the size of the specified console screen buffer.
BOOL SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(
|
HANDLE hConsoleOutput, |
// handle of
console screen buffer |
|
COORD dwSize |
// new size in
character rows and cols. |
|
); |
|
Parameters
hConsoleOutput
Identifies a
console screen buffer. The handle must have GENERIC_WRITE access.
dwSize
Specifies a COORD structure containing the
new size, in rows and columns, of the screen buffer. The specified width and
height cannot be less than the width and height of the screen buffer s window.
The specified dimensions also cannot be less than the minimum size allowed by
the system. This minimum depends on the current font size for the console
(selected by the user) and the SM_CXMIN and SM_CYMIN values returned by the GetSystemMetrics
function.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information,
call GetLastError.
