Hi.
I use Microsoft Windows 7, 64 bit. My compiler is Dev.
When I write a program, that only prints results in text mode, and compile it and run it, I cannot increase the size of the window, so that if will be "full screen". Not even Alt+enter works.
How can I achieve that?
Thank you.

If you're talking about the command prompt, that's not part of your program, that's part of Windows.

Yes, that it is. I want to fullscreen the command prompt. Is that possible in Win 7?

My quick experience, you can increase the height, but not the width. This is probably to avoid breaking old command prompt "apps" that relied on a fixed width to work properly.

I was also searching for that. You can only get a Window that is maximilized. You can not really do full screen option this way.
Maybe DosBox could be a solution, I will see.

If flexibility is not a major requirement, you could utilize a third party library of which can run full screen and provide console like printing (i.e. allegro and its text functions.)

Usually Alt+Enter works in Windows, you could of course try simulating that key combination with WindowsAPI.
A conclusion is where you got tired of thinking.
#define class struct // All is public.

If using Win32 API, it's probably possible to make a full-screen "command prompt" window and do all the work (printing text to the screen, etc.) manually.
