Is there such code that will change or will trigger the Command Prompt to be in full screen?

Thanks.

I found the code here pretty easily with a google search. I would clean it up some.

It seems that the codes there are not supported in C.

You should be able to use it in C code. Just include windows.h. I have used Windows API in C applications many times.

Here's the code for fullscreen.

CODE

include <windows.h>


void "whatevernameyouwanttogiveit"()/* function definition for
                                                         fullscreen */
{  keybd_event(VK_MENU,
                0x38,
                0,
                0);
    keybd_event(VK_RETURN,
                0x1c,
                0,
                0);
    keybd_event(VK_RETURN,
                0x1c,
                KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,
                0);
    keybd_event(VK_MENU,
                0x38,
                KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,
                0);
}

He's probably running Vista. Quite a few Vista machines (possibly all, I don't know) give an error saying that the OS is not compatible with fullscreen, or something similar.
