    When prog is compiled the Console becomes FULLSCREEN

    Whats up everyone,

    Ok, I am doing a text based adventure. And I have no problem making the console buffer (in code that is) become X number of lines wide by X number of lines Long... But I really just want to
    (in code that is) make the console become fullscreen.


    Because, I am doing this for a school project and I want to beable to have it always be ran in FULLSCREEN instead of
    Alt-Enter it every time.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank You

    After searching the board I found that you could take it into full screen the same as if you pressed Alt+Enter by adding this code to your program:
    Code:
    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);
