Console Size

[Walt Decker]

Before moving to Win10 OS the CON.SCREEN instruction worked. With Win10 the only way I can set the console size is via the console properties. Is there a work-around for this behavior?

This is from the console compiler ver 5.07.0205
To get the screen size

CONSOLE GET SIZE TO nWidth&, nHeight&

to set the screen size

CONSOLE SET SCREEN ncRows&, ncColumns&

From the console compiler ver 6.04.0108
con.size
HorizontalValue& = CON.SIZE.X
VerticalValue& = CON.SIZE.Y

To set the console size
CON.SCREEN RowValue&, ColValue&

I know that, Mr. Shelton.

the only way I can set the console size is via the console properties

I am using pbcc6x on Win10 OS. "CON.SCREEN" does not work on my system.

Walt,

You can recover that feature checking the option "Use legacy console" on the console properties.

I tried that, Mr. Valdez; however, I'll try it again. Perhaps it requires a reboot to take.

It worked this time. Thank you.

I have used a procedure called ConsoleResizeEx by Yuzree Esmera. Found it using Google search at (see posting #21 at top of page there) https://forum.powerbasic.com/forum/u...ge2#post636331
