    erm - coord struct - returning values

    ok, im trying to get the number of lines that a windows console is using.

    Im using the coord struct which is part of the getsystemmetrics struct defined in windows.h

    the co-ord contains x and y and i want the value returned in y
    only im not really clear on how to get it

    msdn is as useful as a dead chimp at a tea party and my windows book doesnt deal with it.

    any ideas

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
        CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
        HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    
        GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hConsole, &csbi);
    
        printf("Horixontal Lines: %d\nVertical Lines:%d,  csbi.srWindow.Right, csbi.srWindow.Bottom);
    
        return 0;
    }
