在应用程序启动时设置控制台窗口的特定大小

Question

I'm using windows 10 and the console is being created in visual studio 2015. It is being created simply as a win32 console application in c plus plus.

I created a videoMemory simulator for a console application in c++.

class VideoSim
{
private:
char video[MAX_ROWS * MAX_COLS]; // row is 29, columns  is 80
int currentRow;
int currentColumn;

I display a memory block in the console window that displays 29 rows across and 80 columns down holding 2,320 different locations that I can print out. This application will ask me a question create a little image next to my answer.

When I run this application, my console window stretches further then 80 columns across. How can I have it defaulted so the console is at a set size, therefor the space I see can only technically all be written to.

I am not familiar with any console specific functions, if someone could kindly just point me in the right direction.

as far as printing out to my video sim, I set the cursor location

void VideoSim::SetCursorPosition(int r, int c)
{
    if (c > MAX_COLS || r > MAX_ROWS)
{
    printf("OUTSIDE OF RANGE                  --\n");
    printf("Max column = 40, Max row = 10     --\n\n");
}
currentColumn = c;
currentRow = r;
}

then I print at that location, hence always staying within the virtual video memory range.

Answer 1

You're actually going about it the wrong way.

While your application technically could modify the console, it should not . It is the user's prerogative to do that. So... as the user, you should:

Create a shortcut that starts your program with the desired console.

This is actually rather easy. Right-click your app and modify the startup parameters, including console size and, if you wish, position.

Thereafter, link everything that triggers your application to the shortcut , which will set-up your console window and start your application.

Hope this helps.

您可以使用Window的控制台窗口API来调整窗口的大小，但是，最简单的方法是仅使用带有mode con ...命令的C ++库system调用。
