Console Screen Mode

Hi!

Anyone knows how can I retireve information in which screen mode console is (Window or Fullscreen Mode)?

Thanks!

Retrieve information from what?

From the console or windows.

Look, I just want to know the screen mode of the current console program.

Screen mode? You mean the X and Y sizes? It's in the Console
App SDK of MSDN,

I think you can do this using Allegro or another API.
Check out on their website.

Allegro??? He's talking about a Console Application! Allegro
is a game programming library! Did i miss something?

No! I don't mean x and y sizes. I mean screen mode --->>>> FULLSCREEN or WINDOW.

When I run my console program I want that at the startup the program will check in which mode is it. If it is in a window mode then the program will "press" alt+enter and the program will be in fullscreen mode. I hope this is clear enough to understand.

Not just a programming library...
with library you have a lot of functions to workout with consoles and so on... and I think what he wants is there, he should try to search on their api...

Take it easy dude... I'm just trying to help.

I don't want to use Allegro library. It must be done with WINAPI.

you could try this...get the current resolution and check it against the size of your window:

//width
int cx = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
// height
int cy = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

RECT rect = GetWindowRect(hConsole, &rect); //maybe try GetClientRect() here?

if(rect.right == cx && rect.bottom == cy)

//etc, etc, etc...
