changing screen size

[kotharikailash]

Hi,
Is there a way to change screen size to 120 columns ( more than 80) inside a clipper app?

Thanks

By using the

MODE CON COLS=x LINES=y

command before starting your application, or using the

SETMODE(y,x)

function from your app, and using the MAXROW/MAXCOL functions where appropriate.

I have already tried this. When I give mode con cols=120 from a command prompt it does increases the window size. But within the app, it comes back to normal 25x80. setmode(25,120) or 24x120 also does not work. Do I need to do any setting for video driver etc.

Thanks

it doesnt work. maxcol() gives 79 only whichever way I try. I think clipper can not address more then 80 cols. it does work for 40 cols though.
Thanks for suggestions.
