Thread: Question on Consoles

I am looking at changing font sizes on a console screen and have found these functions

Code:

GetConsoleFontSize
GetCurrentConsoleFont
GetCurrentConsoleFontEx
SetCurrentConsoleFontEx

MSDN says that the only library neede is Kernel32, which I have linked to, but I still get an error

Code:

'GetConsoleFontSize': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup

MSDN also says that the EX versions only work on Vista, which I don't have.

Two questions here,
1) What am I missing here to make the functions work properly?
2) If the EX versions do require Vista, how can I set the font size as the only function I can find is the EX version?

And you've got XP or later,right?

Yes and Yes.

Reading. It's difficult.

I did that already (yes, I did read it) but no results.

OK, Nevermind... I did the define after I included windows instead of before... DUHH!

OK, On to question #2. How can I change the font size? The only function I have been able to find is SetCurrentConsoleFontEx, which requires Vista, I am running XP.
