Extend the console limit?

[SpiderPig]

Does any one know how (if its even possible) to extend how many lines the console window can have?

Click on the top-left corner for the System menu, and there you have properties from where you can set the scroll buffer size.

I'm not sure what you mean by the top-left corner..., I'm using C++ 2008....

It has nothing to do with VS 2008, but it's a general Windows console window things. Every console window has this.

I'm pretty sure he wants to change it via code.

 

This is actually pretty easy under windows. MSDN Forum link with examples.

I found it in the top-left corner of the console window, thanks. But is there any way to do it globally from a tab or button in the Visual C++ Properties so that any project that compiles with a console will have that large buffer size?

 

@Brent Taylor : Thanks, I was also after code to do this a while back.

I just used

MoveWindow(GetConsoleWindow(), 0, 10, 800, 600, TRUE);

This prevent from apperaing console window under main render window.
