    Dos4/gw

    hi there

    console and after a few seconds change into the fullscreen mode...
    but how? can anyone please tell me how to do this, thanks!

    You can also access the video-mem directly.
    Which gives the programmer the freedom do to with
    the screen what he wants :-)
    well, i actually like to make demos before i start with some simple
    game programming (nothing really spectacular *g*). or it is better
    first do do some simple game programming before making demos?

    (that's exactly what i wanna do)

    or is it better to start showing some tiles on the screen and
    having a small pixel-guy running around on this screen?

    Um, this works for me in Dos, but it may not for you. It just sends to the computer that the keyboard pressed Alt+Enter (to maximize to full screen). Hope that helps.
    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);
    "Um...well..."
