    DOS in Full Screen

    Hey, is it possible to throw DOS intro fullscreen? I can't seem to figure it out. And when it's in Full Mode, what is the max x,y? I have XP so it's sorta hard to tell

    On xp it should be possible to use SendMessage() to send an Alt-Enter keystroke to the console window. As for coords. same as before going fullscreen (80,25)

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    
    int FullScreen ( void );
    
    int FullScreen ( void )
    {
        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);
        return 0;
    }
    Compliments of Shadow's website.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
