Check to see if it is fullscreen...

Is there anyway to check to see my console program is in fullscreen?

Thanks.

For NT versions of windows, there's always been a "GetConsoleDisplayMode" function in Kernel32, but has only been documented for XP and Vista. But it works in 2K as well.

Code:

---

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NT_GetConsoleDisplayMode - Get the display mode of the current console.

Parameters:
    pdwMode - [out] A non-zero value indicates full screen

Returns Values:
    TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE is returned. Call GetLastError() for
    extended information.

Remarks:
    This only works on NT based versions of Windows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
BOOL NT_GetConsoleDisplayMode(DWORD *pdwMode)
{
    typedef BOOL (WINAPI *GCDMProc_t) (LPDWORD);
    GCDMProc_t GetConsoleDisplayMode;
    HMODULE hKernel32;
    BOOL bFreeLib = FALSE, ret;
    const char KERNEL32_NAME[] = "kernel32.dll";

    hKernel32 = GetModuleHandleA(KERNEL32_NAME);
    if (hKernel32 == NULL)
    {
        hKernel32 = LoadLibraryA(KERNEL32_NAME);
        if (hKernel32 == NULL)
            return FALSE;

        bFreeLib = true;
    }//if

    GetConsoleDisplayMode =
        (GCDMProc_t)GetProcAddress(hKernel32, "GetConsoleDisplayMode");

    if (GetConsoleDisplayMode == NULL)
    {
        SetLastError(ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
        ret = FALSE;
    }//if
    else
    {
        ret = GetConsoleDisplayMode(pdwMode);
    }//else
       
    if (bFreeLib)
        FreeLibrary(hKernel32);

    return ret;
}//NT_GetConsoleDisplayMode
