I'm using 2005 express and need to see the code that will allow me to view full screen in console mode. I've looked online and found code but I have windows.h issues that I just can not resolve. With the 2003 edition I was able to have full screen with the following code. It does not work with 2005 express though. Anyony have any code that would help?


void fullScreen(void)
{
typedef BOOL (WINAPI *PROCSETCONSOLEDISPLAYMODE)(HANDLE,DWORD,LPDWORD);
typedef BOOL (WINAPI *PROCGETCONSOLEDISPLAYMODE)(LPDWORD);
PROCSETCONSOLEDISPLAYMODE SetConsoleDisplayMode;
PROCGETCONSOLEDISPLAYMODE GetConsoleDisplayMode;
HMODULE hKernel32 = GetModuleHandle("kernel32");
SetConsoleDisplayMode = (PROCSETCONSOLEDISPLAYMODE )
GetProcAddress(hKernel32,"SetConsoleDisplayMode");
GetConsoleDisplayMode = (PROCGETCONSOLEDISPLAYMODE)
GetProcAddress(hKernel32,"GetConsoleDisplayMode");
HANDLE hOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
DWORD dwOldMode;
SetConsoleDisplayMode(hOut,1,&dwOldMode);
setColor(0, 4);
system("cls");
}
