Thread: SetConsoleCursorInfo() related issues..

Very wierd problem..but this code doesn't resize the cursor in my console o.O It compiles and everything but the cursor is normal..like it would be if I didn't resize the cursor..any clues?

Heres my code:

Code:

/*Headers for this file*/
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <conio.h>

/*Namespaces*/
using namespace std;

/*Globals*/
HANDLE m_Screen = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
HANDLE m_Keyboard = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
WORD m_TextColor;
WORD m_BackgroundColor;
CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO curInf;

/*Console Colors*/
enum ConColor
{
  ConRed = 1, ConGreen = 2, ConBlue = 4
};

int main()
{
  char *title = "WinCon exp.";
    SetConsoleTitle(title);
  SetConsoleCursorInfo(m_Screen, &curInf);
  curInf.dwSize = 100;
  curInf.bVisible = FALSE;
  SetConsoleTextAttribute(m_Screen, FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_GREEN | BACKGROUND_BLUE | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY);
  DWORD Written;
  char *write = "Hello World!";
  WriteConsole(m_Screen, write, strlen(write), &Written, NULL);
  getch();
  SetConsoleTextAttribute(m_Screen, FOREGROUND_GREEN | BACKGROUND_BLUE);
  WriteConsole(m_Screen, write, strlen(write), &Written, NULL);
  getch();

return 0;
}

Bit lost on why it doesn't resize it..does SetConsoleTextAttribute() somehow overwrite my changes? o.O

If i'm interpreting what you posted right, I tried setting 'curInf.bVisible' to TRUE and going from there, I still got no results.
