Hi,
I have been learning to program for my windows 98 console using the windows.h library.
My default console comes up with text set to auto (size).

I have gone into screen resizing etc. and 'auto' resizes the text tiny as screen gets smaller but when the screen gets larger the text size stays tiny. Very annoying...
So , I must manually select a font size each time I run
and as many times as it takes me to get stuff right, that has gotten annoying ....

So, I have been looking for a way set the character size in the program.
In the vast msdn2 library starting at:
"http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682010.aspx"
Way down in:
-DLLs, Processes, and Threads
---Character-Mode Applications
-----About Character-Mode Applications
. . . . . . .
-----Console Reference

I see functions and structure for this in XP and Vista but not for <= me/2000.

Is there a way to do this in C? I'm starting to give up on it.... Thanks,

Well I found something to be done:

In 98, start>run > run my program > in the ms-dos window :
right click on top bar > click properties > whoop-dare-it-ias:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CONAGENT.EXE

Ha!, so in file mangler goto conagent.exe , right click , select properties ,
and on THAT same type of properties window, change the font or whatever.
Important: CLICK ON THE BUTTON THAT SAYS 'OK'...... Now get outta there!

Now when I run from the start > run, my NEW setting is the default opening mode.
(at least font size, which is what I was interested in)

But that doesn't answer how I could change it from my program....
Oh well, it's something.

Hope that helps,
Thanks, I was really tired of doing that manually for the zillionth time...
Don't mention it...
