Thread: SetConsoleWindowInfo

I wrote a really annoying program that goes something like this:

Code:

#include <time.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
      time_t now;
      time(&now);
      srand(now);
      while(true)
      {
          Sleep(100);
          SMALL_RECT WinRect = {0, 0, rand() % 100 + 1, rand() % 70 + 1};
          SMALL_RECT* WinSize = &WinRect;
          SetConsoleWindowInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), true, WinSize);
      }
      return 0;
}

I was wondering, is there a way to move the console window? All this does is resize.

There is not a specific console routine to do this, however, you can of course cheat.

Code:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    HWND hWnd;
    RECT WinRect;

    SetConsoleTitle("Home");
    hWnd = FindWindow(NULL,
                      "Home");

    GetWindowRect(hWnd,
                  &WinRect);

    MoveWindow(hWnd,
               0,
               0,
               WinRect.right - WinRect.left,
               WinRect.bottom - WinRect.top,
               TRUE);

    return 0;
}
