This is another
article related to the window.h library function. Here I will take you through
resizing the console window and moving it on the screen at the desire position. If you
are not using any graphics library then you will not have control over the console
window easily. Using window.h library function is the only option. Also, I will
also like to inform you that we are using windows function so it will not work
on Unix/Linux machine.
The sample problem
is written in C language and compile in the GCC compiler.
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
HWND WINAPI GetConsoleWindowNT(void)
{
//declare function pointer type
typedef HWND WINAPI(*GetConsoleWindowT)(void);
//declare one such function pointer
GetConsoleWindowT GetConsoleWindow;
//get a handle on kernel32.dll
HMODULE hk32Lib = GetModuleHandle(TEXT("KERNEL32.DLL"));
//assign procedure address to function pointer
GetConsoleWindow = (GetConsoleWindowT)GetProcAddress(hk32Lib,TEXT("GetConsoleWindow"));
//check if the function pointer is valid
//since the function is undocumented
if(GetConsoleWindow == NULL){
return NULL;
}
//call the undocumented function
return GetConsoleWindow();
}
int main()
{
HWND hWnd=GetConsoleWindowNT();
MoveWindow(hWnd,1230,600,300,200,TRUE);
}
THANK YOU - I was wondering if I had to call some windows to get this working -- apparently yes.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much bro! You saved my day! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the useful script. But I`m often faced with such mistake as Cannot find kernel32.dll. know that this file http://fix4dll.com/kernel32_dll bug fixes if unzip it into the installation folder. Good luck!
